Mary and Bud Freeman have worked for decades on fish and their ecosystems University of Georgia ecologists Mary and Byron “Bud” Freeman are being recognized for their contributions to freshwater science in the most fitting way possible with the naming of a newly discovered fish species in their honor.
The Etowah bridled darter (Percina freemanorum) was identified by Thomas Near, an ichthyologist and evolutionary biologist from Yale University. Near and his colleagues examined nearly 200 specimens of darters collected from the Etowah River system in North Georgia. Based on DNA sequencing and notable differences in physical form, he determined that what had long been thought a population of the bridled darter Percina kusha was in fact a different species altogether.
