Introducing the Biotactic Research Artificial Intelligence Network (BRAIN). In use since 2021 the BRAIN accurately counts fish, differentiates upstream/downstream movement and true/false passage. Near real time or post collection processing. Info at https://t.co/diLQb1H901 #ai

Here's a short clip of a #smallmouthbass predating a cyprinid inside the Mannheim weir fishway on the Grand River. Recorded with a BRAVO fish monitoring system. You never know what you'll find!

Third set of post-#damremoval radiotracking data following #RainbowTrout migration is now up- part 6 (fall 2020) of a long-term monitoring study in the Saugeen River. This is the first fall fish were tracked passing dams upstream of the removal! https://t.co/ILoDdN2N7M

Happy #WorldWetlandsDay for healthy wetlands and #rivers full of fish 🐟 and wildlife!

While we mainly work with fish, we occasionally get the opportunity to do some fun things with freshwater mussels including monitoring fish-mussel interactions and SAR relocations. Can't wait to do more! #WorldBivalveDay

Every fall Biotactic conducts redd counts in the Saugeen River and its tributaries to monitor #ChinookSalmon spawning. Upstream of the removed Truax Dam counts are performed with a drone. How many fish and redds do you count in this video? #fieldwork https://t.co/btX09kkMxA
