The @DanielBolnick lab is pleased to welcome Emma to the #westcoastlakes Bamfield team!

Today we deployed the @HOBODataLoggers to capture lake temperature and light intensity throughout the year.

So excited to have attended the Salmon Never Sleeps Festival at Fanny Bay! Over 650 people attended the festival and learned about many things including salmon diets, hatchery-reared Coho, and @fishsoundsweb from the wonderful @JuanesLab staff!

Our team had a great time at 'The River Never Sleeps Festival' educating the community about Coho Salmon otoliths and the BC Salmon Diet Program!

Curious about #SalishSea food webs?

The PSF-funded Adult Salmon Diet Program at UVic @JuanesLab collaborates with recreational anglers to determine what adult Chinook & coho eat, providing insights into forage fish ecology & distribution.
