What do you say when the impossible dream you've worked on for 24 years comes true? Yesterday the plug was pulled from the bottom of Iron Gate Dam; I was there. I thought of everybody who pulled together; scientists, regulators, but especially indigenous activists. Celebration.

[Peter Euclide @peuclide]

Come work with me and @HookLab for grad school!

Topics include lake trout ecotype evolution and spatial ecology of fish in Swedish lakes.

Full announcement below, but don't hesitate to reach out for more information about applying or come find us at #AFS153.

@coreyrees91 I haven't yet but hear they are quite tasty and larger Cunner even have some decent fillets. In NH/ME I always catch them near structure: bridges piling, rocks, piers, etc... Great under appreciated fish!

[Nick Anderson @MrEelgrass]

For the 1st day of #Fishmas 2020, the Cunner (Tautogolabrus adspersus) is a stunner from the east coast! They are found in #estuaries and nearshore waters from Chesapeake Bay to Newfoundland and Labrador. #25DaysofFishmas

Another dam removal success story. In the four years since removal of Bloede Dam on the Patapsco River, the number of Americans Eels counted at the fish ladder upriver jumped from 53 to over 37k. https://t.co/QCOYu7JdPc

The mighty and elusive ‘ferox’ trout making Atlantic salmon look very small at spawning time. These monster brown trout spend most of their lives chasing Arctic charr in the depths of deep glacial lochs. They move into small burns to spawn, something that is rarely seen 🙂

It's (almost) the most wonderful time of the year - #25DaysofFishmas! 🎶

December 1 marks the the 6th (!) year of #Fishmas festivities! What's #25DaysofFishmas all about, and what's on tap for 2022? (a 🧵)

Replacing, removing, or repairing culverts and weirs can improve or restore migratory fish passage! Join @USDOTFHWA next Weds (10/26, 10:30am PT/1:30pm ET) to learn more about a funding opportunity under the new Culvert Aquatic Organism Passage Program. https://t.co/vtg1IqTLCM

It's always time to talk about eels! Thank you @DrEmilyFinch

[Emily Finch @DrEmilyFinch]

Ok folks. It’s time we talked about eels.

I’m a geologist but I recently learnt about eels and… wow.

Since then, I’ve been greeting strangers with ‘DO YOU KNOW ABOUT EELS?!’

Well, consider yourself a stranger in my path.

Strap in. It’s a 🧵

Great grant opportunity for restoring and/or improving access for #anadromous (sea-run) fish!

[Federal Highway Admn @USDOTFHWA]

.@USDOT @SecretaryPete Buttigieg will announce today that FHWA has opened applications for $1 billion grant program to protect critical fish populations and support local jobs by removing and upgrading culverts. https://t.co/SE7slLoITQ #BipartisanInfrastructureLaw

When your 60cm grayling tagging cradle is too short 😂 Mongolian #grayling is a large ferocious predator, eating prey almost half its size. Its endemic to the remote regions of western #mongolia, in rivers currently prospected for #hydropower. @bnyamba @DrBrodin #fishsci

[Kim Aarestrup @Kaa_telemetry]

#Eels have piqued the curiosity of scientists for millenia. The #Sargasso is thought to be where they spawn but eels had never been tracked there. Until now.

For the first time ever, we followed eels to their spawning grounds

Been photographing flying fishes all day every day. I think we’re up to 6 species now, but I’ll need to check. What a stunning group of fishes these are!

Amazing #fishpassage MSc opportunity!!! This research is needed ASAP to inform Lake sturgeon and potentially other juvenile Acipenser passage!

[Patrick S. Forsythe @PSF_GBFISHLAB]

Hello! My lab is recruiting TWO graduate students at the M.S. level. The goal is to study downstream passage of juvenile lake sturgeon. Please help me circulate!

[Nick Anderson @MrEelgrass]

Mountains and fish - it doesn't get better than this for fieldwork and photography.
