Out fishing for searun brown the other day, and walked past a dead humpback whale cub

Jeez, goodlooking

Caught a beautiful seatrout on the Djursland coast, on the very last day of winter

Esox Lucius, 118 cm 12 kg, for you weird ppl not familiar with SI units, it’s 46.5 inches and 26.5 lbs. What a beauty.

Så er det slået fast: Tangeværket kan ikke fungere på lovlig vis Viborg Kommune bad om en ekstern vurdering af omstridt rapport om Tangeværkets drift og Tange Søs helbred. Konklusionen er klar.

"Det er vores vurdering at konklusionen må blive, at der ikke kan gives tilladelse til vandindvinding, på baggrund af projektelementerne herunder opstemningen, uddybning mm. Dette bevirker at lovligheden af værket bortfaldet den dag afslaget give"

Ministerium sætter målinger af pesticider på pause: "Så vidt jeg ved, er det første gang i grundvandsovervågningens historie" - Altinget Manglende målingerne betyder, at vi ikke har ordentligt overblik over mængden af pesticider i grundvandet, lyder det fra en ekspert på GEUS. DN kalder situationen for ”meget ubegribelig”. (Opdateret m...

"Der er ikke penge til at måle efter pesticider i grundvandet i år"

Det lyder som en dårlig joke 😱

Ja og det er svært vildt svært at få dem op, selv hvis det er dokumenteret. Fjernelsen af spærringerne i Villestrup Å betød at gyde bestanden af havørred gik fra omkring 100 til 3700. Det er altså 250 opgangsfisk per km, vel at mærke efter fiskeriet i både saltvand og ferskvand har taget deres del

Det betyder at målsætninger for genopretning af bestande sættes alt for lavt og dermed begrænser de indsatser der udføres. Vores undersøgelser viser også et enormt potentiale for Havørred opgang ved vandløbene restaureres ordentligt.

Ja, det er meget klassisk at vores kollektive hukommelse rækker så kort tilbage i tiden, når vi snakker natur. Jeg er ikke i tvivl om at mange fiskebestande har været langt større end der normalt regnes med.

Is there something at the end of the rainbow?

We are at it again. #ABFT

Good luck. We are ready to detect cod coming our way👍 @aquatictracking.bsky.social

We’re deploying 106 receivers in the inner Oslofjord for the NMBU cod project with @oceantracking.bsky.social. This study tracks migration and movement shifts in two cod ecotypes and assessing habitat changes. Using Thelma and Innovation equipment, an open protocol is key to the project!

Out in the LilleÅ river, to search for spawning grounds for trout, after their spawning season.
The number of spawning grounds can help estimate the status of the population

Just a nice little spawning ground you think. But in fact the first Sea trout to spawn here in 500+ years. And only because barrier at Mill pond further downstream was removed. #riverrestoration

Yesterday after work walking along local stream looking for this. Can you guess what it is? Hint, it’s not created by humans.

Red tag palmer👍

After some delays caused by gas build-up in the chambers, we're finally off to the races! Always satisfying to see all the parts come together :)

Today we downloaded and serviced the acoustic receivers in the last (and smallest) of the three Danish Straits, completing the 2024 downloads. If you have acoustic tagged fish in the Baltic or North Sea and think they could have been detected, check the ETN database. @fishybiologistkim.bsky.social

Cold fieldwork in Danish chalk stream River Villestrup, trying to recapture adult Sea trout tagged with heart rate loggers. Gin clear water and thousands of Sea trout since dams and weirs were removed a decade ago. @mariepedaccini.bsky.social with a male and female. @fishybiologistkim.bsky.social

Would like to be added plz.
