🔬 Loch Leven Matters - Science Evening
Great Friday night in Kinross helping with @ukceh.bsky.social's science evening! After tasty food from Loch Leven’s Larder, we headed to Greens Burn to demo electrofishing. #LochLevenMatters #CommunityLearning #Electrofishing #SalmoTrutta #LoveYourLocalRiver
Happy to share our new paper on #eDNA metabarcoding of fish communities and how it compares to #electrofishing
Same same (in some places, for some species), but different (for others). Learn more about these differences and how they might translate to other systems

Great to see our paper in the Canadian Journal of Fisheries & Aquatic Sciences to be the #Editor's #Choice: cdnsciencepub.com/do/10.1139/n... Contrasting strengths of #eDNA & #electrofishing compared to historic records for assessing #fish biodiversity. cdnsciencepub.com/doi/full/10....
Felt great to get back out on an #electrofishing boat this week, even if the targets were substantially smaller than I’m used to. Age-0 walleye sampling on Lake Vermilion is 2/3 done, fingers crossed for another pleasant night next week! #fishfriday #fishsci #scicomm
🧵1. If you are interested in assessing numbers and status of freshwater fish populations from #electrofishing data then this is for you!
The latest report from the National Electrofishing Programme for Scotland (#NEPS) 2021 was published today
A balmy 21F on the #electrofishing boat last night, but we managed one last #muskellunge to wrap up #fishpuke fieldwork ✅ looking forward to processing diets and analyzing data, anticipating some different patterns from the last three years!
Has anyone used a forward-facing sonar unit (e.g., Panoptix, LiveScope) on an #electrofishing boat? Thinking this could help us locate #muskellunge this fall but nervous to have the $$ transducer too close to the electrical field #TeamFish #fishsci
Most frequently asked question when we are out #Electrofishing salmonids?
How do you know if it’s a salmon (Salmo salar) 🐟 or a trout (Salmo trutta)?🐟
Can be pretty tricky when you have a handful flip flapping on the measuring board……….😵💫

Back at it #Electrofishing #Salmon #Trout #Eel @MarineInst #BurrishooleLTER
Ably assisted this year by our bursar students Janine Durkop @MTU_ie @BPSMTU and Tom Corcoran @MfrcATU @atu_ie
Next week looks 🥶🥶, so cheers to a possible last #electrofishing run as a MS student looking for #muskellunge #fishpuke
Just to clarify, we collect fish via #electrofishing, not “electromagnet fishing” 🤦🏻♂️ Either way, it’s always fun to talk #fishpuke!

Trout and Midges………and repeat
Must be #Electrofishing season
@MarineInst #BurrishooleLTER 30 years of juvenile salmonid surveys. Bit restricted this year again with #Covid19 but getting the key indicator sites done 👍📈📉📊🐟🦟
One of my fav parts of this field season was getting new people out in the #electrofishing boat to collect their first #muskellunge. Pictured here are Sara, Peyton, David, and Mary, undergrads from another university that are collaborating on our diet comparison study! #fishpuke
What a catch! My wife jumped in the #electrofishing boat with me last night, and her first #muskellunge sure didn’t disappoint! #TeamFish
#fishpuke
Last week, we were able to bring a few undergrads out on the #electrofishing boat to chase the last few #muskies of the spring season, and all three were able to sample their first ones!

Didn’t think we would get fishing this year #Covid_19 but here we are. Mary and Joe & 29 years of #electrofishing surveys #BurrishooleLTER @MarineInst #salmon #trout #eel
Fall Break, field work, and fishes.

Looks like that might be the end of our annual #electrofishing surveys🐟🐟🐟
great team (TKs @EmmaDrohan4 , Lee, Joe, Sean & Mary) got lots of beautiful fish. Finished with this lovely trout on the Goulaun R., draining L. Bunaveela @MarineInst #BurrishooleLTER #fishsci
Interested in novel approaches for determining status of #salmon from #electrofishing data? Our latest report combines a juvenile density benchmark model with data from National Electrofishing Programme for Scotland #NEPS to provide new assessment method
OCTOBER: rivers in full flood (left) and super high spring tides (right) combine to fill Lough Furnace to the brim @MarineInst http://Burrishoole.marine.ie that’s the end of our years #electrofishing #salmon #watereverywhere
SEPTEMBER: yellow salmon to match the very humic (brown) water in the Altahoney river #salmon #fishsci #electrofishing #BurrishooleLTER @MarineInst
Fish communities in large lakes recover quickly following #electrofishing; sites can be sampled concurrently on same day & provide similar, or additional, fish community information www.fwspubs.org/doi/full/10.3996/032017-...
Black Bullhead catfish sits properly for measurement; Brown Bullhead appears to plot vengeance! #electrofishing #TBT http://t.co/WGsXFD3UU0
If you do #electrofishing for your research, you should read this http://is.gd/pFrNSH
