Hi, I'm Milton, and I'm a Wikimedia contributor. I am an Auburn University graduate student studying Biology. Most of my contributions are fish-related, made possible by the amazing power known as Google Scholar as well as the library. My contribution focus is in topics related to catfish . I may also flesh out other fish articles with the newer, 4th edition of Nelson (2006), Fishes of the World , as FishBase and most Wikipedia articles currently reference the outdated 3rd edition.
