We have alewife in the lab at @FishOceansCAN Burlington. Took them ~ a week to get happy and eating. A big win in itself. Soon we’ll tag them with transmitters to assess survival, helping to guide future tracking of wild fish. Collab w @UWindsor @ONresources @LampreyControl

We're renaming our Slocum glider Daphnia to GOOT in honour of Dr. Chris Vandergoot, who we sadly lost last month. Chris was key in launching our glider program & advancing fish tracking. The SG GOOT is in Lake Ontario, searching for lost tags & testing new tech. We'll miss him 💙

Great to see our work on developing an early warning system for Union Water Supply on @CBCNews The National. We're using state-of-the-art equipment to address water quality challenges with @environmentca, and partner institutions. Check out the clip here: https://t.co/ZuleTQed1S

Benjamin Hlina is a postdoc at @UWindsor. In this interview, we discuss lake trout ecology and habitat use in freshwater environments in Quebec and Ontario. Read more: https://t.co/p0PeSv7VWL

Check out this video of a rainbow trout being released back into the Western basin of Lake Ontario after being tagged! Excited to track its journey!

The first slocum glider in @lakechamp
is now exploring offshore reefs, collecting crucial water quality and hydroacoustic data. Huge thanks to the team @UVM_RSENR! Safe travels, MaryLou!

Fun day of filming with the CBC & ECCC on Lake Erie yesterday. Stay tuned for the story 👀 #GreatLakes

Getting ready to deploy in Lake Michigan! This glider mission aims to detect larval fish using an AZFP at various nearshore locations. That @UMich M looks great against the yellow🤩. Big thanks to our partners @CIGLR_UM and @NOAA_GLERL for their support. Safe travels, #Marylou!

[RAEON @RAEON_]

We're thrilled to support @ScienceUWindsor PhD student Nathan Drouillard in developing a new way to measure dissolved phosphorus in Lake Erie! This key nutrient is crucial for understanding harmful algal blooms.

Just deployed! A new buoy in Lake Erie's central basin will help researchers model coastal erosion. Look out for UWRAEON1 on @RealGLOS #GreatLakes #portstanley

🚨My first, first-author paper @TheFSBI

We validated the performance of @Innovasea miniaturized V3D predation-sensing transmitters.

TrackdAT has been updated with all papers published up to 2023!! ✅ Lots of amazing new research available to explore on https://t.co/DbrVC0gft2, with data from >2600 papers across 651 species globally 🐟🦈

[Monitoring the Great Lakes @GLMonitoring]

We met with @RAEON_ in November - 7 months later - It's a buoy!!

[GLIER at UWindsor @GLIERUWINDSOR]

Congrats to Dr. Cecilia Heuvel on your graduation! Wishing you all the best in all your future goals.

Congrats Rylie!

[School of the Environment @ UWindsor @EESWindsor]

Congratulations to SOE graduate student, Rylie Robinson, on the successful defense of her MSc. thesis project!

[RAEON @RAEON_]

Successful launch of the Mary Lou in Lake Ontario! Over the next 3 weeks, the Mary Lou will track tagged bloater and Lake trout (plus collect environmental variables) to help understand post-stocking movements. Thanks to @USFWS and @USGS for their efforts and support!
