Assessing metabolic rate and post‐tagging recovery in juvenile fish Juvenile fish play a crucial role in the health of aquatic ecosystems, serving both as the foundation for future adult populations and as a valuable food source. Studying the juvenile life stage of f...

At work, we often anaesthetise, perform surgery on, and tag juvenile fish. We wanted to find out if these procedures impact their oxygen consumption in the following days. Good news, we didn't find cause for concern! 🙂

My PhD student’s latest paper: Isotopic Niche Overlap of Four Large Pelagic Predatory Fish Species in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. A must-read for anyone interested in tunas, trophic ecology, and isotopes. Excellent work by Nathan Stewart on this paper! cdnsciencepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

The Braasch Lab @fishevodevogeno.bsky.social will soon post a position to replace manager of our *Ancient Fish Facility* at Michigan State. Looking for aquaculturist excited for unusual 🐟 species (gar, bowfin, paddlefish, polypterus) + zebrafish. Pls send candidates our way (DM or braasch@msu.edu)!

no we did not :) We are focusing only on fish and fish pathogens....but mink should not be a problem to do.....our protocol filter 2 L per filter....

That's a wrap for the York River! 🎉 We collected eDNA samples at 8 locations along the river to detect saprolegnia, striped bass, rainbow trout, and Atlantic salmon. Next up: the St. Anne and Cascapedia Rivers!

Erik Sandertun Røed just won NMBU’s Best Master’s Thesis Prize 2024 for his work on European lobster conservation genetics.
Honored to have supervised him (w/ @chavarie.bsky.social ) through this resilient & rewarding project.
Congrats, Erik‼︎ www.nmbu.no/studenter/er...

Scientific conferences are leaving the US amid border fears Some meetings have been put on hold in response to foreign researchers’ travel concerns.

"Several academic and scientific conferences in the United States have been postponed, cancelled or moved elsewhere, as organizers respond to researchers’ growing fears over the country’s immigration crackdown." www.nature.com/articles/d41...

It's unbelievable to me that the jobs of USGS scientists—who are essential to understanding and protecting fish and fisheries—are at risk. Their work is absolutely critical.

Hi bluesky! I am looking for a video showing how to run the smith-root backpack model...you know, a resource that explain all the settings (beside the manual pdf)...anyone could help!?? That would be amzing.....it is our first time trying it, so just want to understand better how it works....

Thread with an email being sent to @asn-amnat.bsky.social @sse-evolution.bsky.social @systbiol.bsky.social members today calling for a Tri-society week of action for NSF:

Dear members:
The tri-societies (ASN, SSE,SSB) are running a ‘Week of Action for NSF’. Your engagement is crucial.

🙏 We need your help 🙏

The government continues to cancel grants at both NIH and NSF to censor science it doesn't like.

We're tracking terminations to organize and advocate. Please report your terminated grants:

About 15-20 yrs ago, a bunch of reviews (inc. 1 by me) made predictions about the future of genomics in conservation. 1 yr ago at ICISB, Robin Waples assessed which of those predictions had been fulfilled. Sam May & Sam Rosenbaum now led the effort to turn this into a review:
