Rigglefish
Texas A&M University
Rigglefish takes players to a top-secret underwater research lab where they play the role of Dr. Waters, a geneticist tasked by the government with developing a source for a protectant against a deadly bioweapon. That source is the Rigglefish, and players must breed a mating pair of Rigglefish with specified traits. Players use virtual instruments, including a bathysphere, pressure tank, Polymerase Chain Reaction, and gel electrophoresis, to capture Rigglefish and identify their phenotypes and genotypes. They then use the interactive Punnett Square to determine how to breed the target fish.
