"Much of the inherent value of long-term data sets is accrued over time, yet the challenge of maintaining funding increases alongside a record’s age". #Girnock #Baddoch

Long-term datasets are so important in environmental and fisheries science providing answers to questions you haven't even posed yet. #Girnock #Baddoch

Do you have a rare combination of strong data analysis and coding skills, a proven publication record and an ability to deliver field programmes in challenging conditions? If so, why not consider coming to work with us at the #Girnock & #Baddoch traps

After some very high flows over the weekend on Deeside it was necessary to electrofish between the adult and emigrant #Baddoch traps. A rare trip out in the field, followed by a brief wander along the Clunie to try and spot some #spawning #salmon. First snow on the hills as well.

Assistant Fisheries Biologist post based at the Freshwater Fisheries Lab in Pitlochry supporting work at the #Girnock & #Baddoch. Duties include fish trap operations, electrofishing, scale preparation and age determination. For further information see:

1. It may look like #FFLEnvironmentGroup has gone quiet. But we have been working flat out in #lockdown to maintain #Girnock and #Baddoch trap data, download & calibrate #SRTMN loggers, develop a simplified process Tw model to prioritise tree planting, age #NEPS scales samples,..

Best female #Atlanticsalmon returns to the @marinescotland #Girnock and #Baddoch fish traps on #RiverDee for last 5 years. Numbers close to maximising freshwater production. #spring #salmon @RossGlvr @SLSmclaren
