Jeff Hutchings: “Are we interested in preventing disease, or the semantics of whether mortality events meet the right definitions?”

New #openaccess paper 🔓

@D5hea @MartinKrkosek @eebtoronto @bat3man modeled the spatial spread of biological material from #BritishColumbia salmon farms. Link to paper: https://t.co/H51wfbN3YU 🐟🧬

@eatkinso @SeanCGodwin @NSERC_CRSNG Burn it down.

This is ridiculous.

Way to go Jaime!!!
An impressive launch.

[Jaime Grimm @JB_Grimm]

Nearly five months, lots of new friends, 200+ sites and 600+ samples later, the field season for the first chapter of my PhD is finished!

I am so grateful for the people that have welcomed me into their territories and homes.

New study in @cjfas shows that Young Fraser River sockeye salmon migrating past fish farms in the Discovery Islands were more than 12x more likely to carry a potentially harmful bacteria, Tenacibaculum maritimum. @bat3man @PSF #fishsci

New paper analyzes patterns of molecular detection in sockeye salmon for the bacterium Tenacibaculum maritimum, known to cause disease in fish globally & to cause mouthrot disease in farmed Atlantic salmon in British Columbia. https://t.co/hmmf3s4jq2

Hang in there Jaime - you're having a wild & excellent first field season!

[Jaime Grimm @JB_Grimm]

Fieldwork takes Murphy's law to the extreme. Be resilient. As much as possible, plan for delays in your schedule. Pack really good snacks. #FieldWork #PhDChat #salmon

Great work @charwhitney1 @bat3man @FishFirstBC

[Sean Jones @Seanpjonesy]

Ten years ago, a DFO scientist discovered a foreign virus in fish farms that was killing endangered Chinook. DFO suppressed this research. For years we fought for release under the Access to Information Act. Finally, we won. https://t.co/exc2Qp6dKv

New research shows that mountain goats in Kitasoo Xai’xais territory and beyond in British Columbia are of conservation concern.

@JasonTFisherLab @Dr_TGG The Cade paper is rad. People should read it.
Remember though:
model averaging ≠ parameter averaging

Will leave this right here ..

as I have high confidence that many #FirstNations people are thinking this very thing .. coast to coast to coast

[Sean Jones @Seanpjonesy]

Today, legal counsel for a multi-billion dollar, international, company called my First Nation client, “unreasonable”.

Why?

The First Nation did exactly what the three-year old agreement with the company said it could do.

[Cory Matheson @PSFcory]

Hot of the press @PSF magazine just dropped with this article on harmful impacts of open net pen salmon farms:

“PRV originated in the Atlantic Ocean and has been spread around the world through salmon aquaculture”

[Alison Creekside @CreeksideAlison]

"Trans Mountain said its pipeline expansion now being constructed is designed to withstand a 10% increase in flood activity to account for climate change."
A 10% increase in flood activity? Really?
You've got entirely exposed TM pipe on the #coquihalla right now. #ClimateCrisis

@DevinKirk What is to be done about #OrphanPapers?

[Persia Khan (she/her) @persiakhan_]

Big thanks to @FieldCoast, @StudentsOnIce, and @FishOceansCAN for putting on an awesome workshop this weekend on #microtrolling and #eDNA. Excited to see where these tools can take us in conservation science!
