Amazing opportunity to study one of the coolest fishes on the planet, with an amazing group @jeanseb_moore @Matt_JH_Gilbert @bm_hamilton @NBFurey and in the wonderful community of Cambridge Bay. Fun/novel data to explore and freedom to design multi-year studies. Check out the ad!

Postdoc opportunity on Arctic char migrations open for up to 3 years! We're looking to add someone with expertise in acoustic telemetry. Position co-supervised by @jeanseb_moore and @NBFurey. Incredible Arctic fieldwork and flexibility in research questions. Please RT!

[Matt Gilbert @Matt_JH_Gilbert]

Excited to have our recent field study out & on the cover of @J_Exp_Biol ! We demonstrate that warm acclimation of heart rate and temperature tolerance can occur rapidly in wild migrating Arctic char. Done w/ a great team: @middletonella6 @invivoexvivo @jeanseb_moore @HarrisLes

@bm_hamilton @jeanseb_moore @sikugirl @Matt_JH_Gilbert Had a few FB chats today about this but dang it looks like a tiger trout. Obviously not given brookies and browns would not be in the area. Guessing it’s a very cool looking laker with some cool colour action/patterning. A mutation of some type caused this unique colour morph?

New lab paper: telemetry data used in mark recapture models to study impacts of var in sea ice melt date on Arctic Char survival - work by Isabeau Caza-Allard for her undergrad thesis in collab w M. Mazerolle @HarrisLes & many others @ibis_laval @FSGulaval @cen_nord @raq_actu

[Matt Gilbert @Matt_JH_Gilbert]

The first of two papers on the thermal acclimation potential of Arctic char is now out! This one was done at @ZoologyUBC and is focused on cardiac heat tolerance in the context of a rapidly warming Arctic.

[FISHES @IKGenFisheries]

Meet the fishes of FISHES! Regional variation in which species we study reflects the regional importance of each species for our local partners and their affiliated #subsistence, #recreational, and #commercial fisheries. We love them all; what is your favourite?

[Les Harris @HarrisLes]

@jeffwhigdon @JZThinAir Will definitely be trying this. Thanks!

[Les Harris @HarrisLes]

Nice job @Matt_JH_Gilbert! His PhD work recently featured in a @NunatsiaqNews article highlighting his work on Arctic char thermal limits and performance. Looking forward to the next stage. @jeanseb_moore @invivoexvivo

[Matt Gilbert @Matt_JH_Gilbert]

Excited to have my @ZoologyUBC PhD thesis work covered by the @NunatsiaqNews ! Check out the Article for a summary of some of my work done with @jeanseb_moore @HarrisLes & supported by @ArcticFocus @POLARCanada @ACUNSAUCEN @NSERC_CRSNG https://t.co/rqGixhzTpW

[Matt Gilbert @Matt_JH_Gilbert]

PhD thesis on Arctic char thermal biology is online! https://t.co/wKhe3M62Ws

Huge thx to the community of Cambridge Bay, @jeanseb_moore @HarrisLes @ZoologyUBC @POLARCanada @FishOceansCAN @ACUNSAUCEN

Excited for the next chapter @UNBSaintJohn with @invivoexvivo

@jeanseb_moore Couldn’t agree more. Lucky to have @Matt_JH_Gilbert as part of the team! Looking forward to the coming years!

[Jean-Sébastien Moore @jeanseb_moore]

.@Matt_JH_Gilbert is a fantastic young researcher that has accomplished amazing things during his PhD on the cardiorespiratory physiology of migrating Arctic Char in a changing Arctic
