Freshwater biologist undertaking a Ph.D with @sceneUofG, partnering with @EnvAgency and @NaturalEngland analysing Atlantic Salmon migration and river barriers
I am fundraising for Macmillan Cancer Support by doing the 26 mile Northumberland Coast Mighty Hike this July. Check out their @JustGiving page and please donate if you can. Thank you! #JustGiving https://t.co/XWRHhyt4e3
We caught this beautiful, huge Amazonian catfish in the River Kelvin in Glasgow, SCOTLAND, this morning. Please do not release your aquarium fish into local waterways! They can be very ecologically damaging! @ClydeRF @marinescotland @ScottishEPA@ScienceMunster
Well I am excited to announce 2021 Derwent tracking project tagging has officially finished with 150 salmon smolts tagged! Let hope we get some interesting data this year! @EnvAgencyNW@NECumbria@WestCumbriaRT@sceneUofG
44 acoustic receivers deployed in three days for the Derwent Tracking Project, lead by @Green1Amy! Looking forward to building on the work started last year! @sceneUofG@EnvAgency @vemcoteam #trackingnotslacking
Next up is @Green1Amy from @sceneUofG@UofGlasgow, presenting her work on the effect of river barriers on the success of the seaward Atlantic salmon smolt migration in Cumbria, UK! #nowpas2021
New paper from @DaniOrrell and @hanhonkanen show that Atlantic salmon smolt migration in standing waters created by impoundment can be as slow as through natural lakes @Mnewton87@sceneUofG https://t.co/JtqgGkJxK6
Are you curious about how scientists track animals under water? 🌊Ever wondered how #acoustic#telemetry works? 🧐 Why it's useful for the conservation and management of aquatic life? 🦈🐟 ETN has just released a beautiful animation for YOU! 🥳 Enjoy!! https://t.co/DwcHQ7ocM0
NoWPaS 2021 Applications are now open!🐟 Submissions will close on November 30th so get your applications in before then!

Can´t wait to see everyone soon online!
Added energy expenditure is one of the overlooked consequences of barriers!!! Less energy = decreased energy for migration & reproduction = decreased survival & fitness 🐟 #letitflow#removethatdam#freerivers#freshwatersneedlovetoo
Migratory fish play a crucial role in healthy river systems.
With at least half of all the flow in the rivers of the world artificially manipulated or fragmented, our resource of truly wild free-flowing rivers is more threatened than ever. #WorldFishMigrationDay
Retrieved @vemcoteam ARs from Loch Lomond today with colleagues from @sceneUofG. Excited to start assessing the behaviour of Atlantic salmon smolt movement through the Endrick catchment! @SeaMonitor1@AST_Salmon@LochTrust@loughsagency
