Capelin Symposium Bergen 2022

The ICES Capelin Symposium seeks to revise and expand our knowledge base on capelin biology, ecology, and roles in Arctic and Sub-Arctic ecosystems.

So grateful we were able to attend the @ICES_ASC @CSB_2022 @Havforskningen! Thanks so much to all the organizers and for the early career researcher funding for our two Ph.D. students @ashleymtripp and @LauraBlissEco. We loved our time and learned so much, let's do it more often!

[Johanna Fall @FallJohanna]

Grateful for all the wonderful people who attended @CSB_2022 last week. It was so much fun meeting you all and talking capelin and beyond! #Capelin2022

Arrived home from @CSB_2022 after 27 hrs of travel to a fittingly Dark & Stormy night. Excellent meeting! Thanks and kudos to the organizers, presenters, and attendees. Fully engaging.

A truly special and emotional moment at the Capelin Symposium 2022 (@CSB_2022). A celebration of the amazing contributions of Harald Gjøsæter to capelin research, and mentoring of literally generations of capelin scientists. A true giant of capelin science.

Capelin matters. After this week's #capelin2022 symposium in Bergen, we hope to have an even better foundation for sustainable fisheries management. Thanks to all who participated!

👋Meet Caitlin Marsteller, @USGS_Alaska - 1 of 13 #ECS ICES has funded to attend #Capelin2022.
"My experience here has undoubtedly strengthened my abilities & preparedness to move forward with my own work that I would have never received without the opportunity to attend."

[Laura M Bliss (咏梅), Ph.D. @LauraBlissEco]

Great discussions on “ecosystem informed management” vs. “ecosystem based management” by @rob_suryan @CSB_2022

[Capelin Symposium Bergen 2022 @CSB_2022]

Höskuldur Björnsson from MFRI discussing management plan evaluation for Icelandic capelin. #Capelin2022

A second presentation from Hector Pena on variability in the acoustic frequency response of pre-spawning capelin; implications for biomass estimation. #Capelin2022 @Havforskningen

[Capelin Symposium Bergen 2022 @CSB_2022]

Final day of the symposium, focusing on monitoring and assessment of capelin. First out is Hector Pena from @Havforskningen discussing if abundance of Barents Sea capelin can be reliably estimated during pre-spawning and if the results can be used for assessment. #Capelin2022
