M.S. Wildlife Ecology, Mississippi State University, Starkville. B.S. Wildlife and Fisheries Science, South Dakota State University, Brookings. Currently, Fishery Biologist and principal investigator in the Anadromous Fish Ecology section at the Columbia River Research Laboratory, Cook, Washington

Mr. Cash's research area is migrational behavior of juvenile salmonids, and the application of hydroacoustics and three-dimensional ultrasonic telemetry to study fish behavior. Current activities include evaluation of juvenile salmonid behavior upstream of Lower Granite Dam relative to the operation of juvenile fish collection and bypass systems and determining the influence of hydraulic conditions on the efficacy of these systems. Other studies include evaluation of spatial distribution of migrating juvenile salmonids in the forebay of Lower Granite Dam using hydroacoustic techniques
