It is not just the cool dudes at #ESEB2022 giving excellent talks! Here @mLisetteDelgado giving a great talk on cod genomics at #esa2022 #CSEE2022

The final Margen_II meeting is already happening this week, and we hope to see many stakeholders joining us on the 26th of August. We will present and discuss project results on shellfish and coastal fish. More info at https://t.co/NNtJXVPWJG

Ocean science matters! Today, Nordic PMs benefitted from advise from prinsipal scientist Even Moland of IMR @Havforskningen on how to restore ecosystems in Skagerrak and Baltic Sea

MarGen_II final meeting with online stakeholder session on August 26 approaching; we present and discuss project results on shellfish and coastal fish. Let us know if you are interested in attending! More info at https://t.co/odsVF7fZ5p

The 2022 Molecular Ecology Prize has been awarded to Dr. Kerstin Johannesson! Her distinguished career, leadership, and remarkable mentoring record are just a few of the superlatives. Many congratulations! @goteborgsuni @eseb

Supergenes promote ecological stasis in a keystone species -a highlight of the PNAS paper by Sodeland et al. https://t.co/tmzMUhPLrI @LouBernatchez @ClaireMerot @JentoftSissel @HalvorKnutsen

[Sarah Fortune @SFortuneSea]

New opportunity for two PhD students to join our lab @DalhousieU to conduct research on #Whale foraging ecology in Fall 2022. If you're interested in biologging, oceanography, #DataScience and enjoy collaborative #teamwork please apply!

“Nothing so boundless, nothing so patient.” It was difficult to describe Jeff Hutchings in our own words, so we borrowed some. We hope this article helps show the depth and breadth of his impact across the Atlantic. He is dearly missed.

New paper in Molecular Ecology combine genomics&time-series to study effect of habitat distance in coastal fish species https://t.co/AE4Hdy3YHB

Excited to have our cod paper on stabilizing selection, supergenes and long-term overexploitation out in PNAS! https://t.co/8J8o3BdqNx

[Susanna H. Thorbjørnsen @Susannamarine]

How much cod could be supported in the North Sea-Skagerrak-Kattegat system?
Alot more according to recent research showing historic population sizes of cod in the area. The authors point to fishing as the cause of low population sizes.
Work is led by Marte Sodeland (@MSodeland).

[Havforskningsinstituttet @Havforskningen]

Forskere har funnet et sett med «supergener» i torsk i Nordsjøen og Skagerrak som gjør at den raskt kan tilpasse seg endringer i miljøet.

Dalhousie Science’s Jeff Hutchings is being remembered as having an uncanny ability to remember names, a keen wit, a tireless interest in the scientific endeavours of others, & an unparalleled drive to effect change in policy that he thought inadequate. 🤍https://t.co/rqSJlkaiW1

[Halvor Knutsen @HalvorKnutsen]

Jeff Hutchings has passed, a great scientist and a fantastic person! A Amazed by his ability to inspire, communicate. He was a mentor at a level few can ever reach!

[Emilie Reuchlin @OceanReuchlin]

Jeff Hutchings you remain a leader and inspiration for Science & Conservation. You stood up and our lab marched for Science. Your words https://t.co/iCr8Y913iz stay relevant, 1 of many reasons we nominated you and you won Science Champion.🙏for your teachings and guidance

[MarGen_II @Margen_II]

Finally we are back to having live meetings again! This time at #TjarnoLab. Exciting two days of research and discussions ahead! Talking about #cod #oyster #shorecrab #seatrout #wrasse #bluemussels and much more!
