I tag fish and film sharks in cold places @DFO_NL: Marine Conservation Targets

It’s out!! 🤩 If you’re planning on using CTM in your next study, have a look at some of the things that can seriously ramp up that oomph factor 🔥🐟🌡️ https://t.co/pOEXzwH3Ov @SJC_fishy @FredrikJutfelt @afishyonado @kbg_conserv @TerraFirmest @AmandaEBates

A marine conservation area covering 16,791 square kilometres of ocean off the Nunatsiavut coast has been deemed feasible — a key part of establishing the Inuit-led project:

DAVID VS GOLIATH EXISTS IN MANY FORMS. Here is something we in @AquaticTracking have worked on in a long time, to ensure openness, compatibility and credibility. If you work with acoustic telemetry and are IN DOUBT about your studies, don’t hesitate to REACH OUT.

Have you tagged deep ocean sharks before? What is your number one piece of advice? Looking to learn some lessons before rather than after we bedazzle these beauties.

BREAKING: @IUCNRedList update reveals 25% of #freshwaterfishes are threatened with extinction!

World must rise to the #FreshwaterChallenge to protect & restore freshwater ecosystems - for the benefit of freshwater fishes, nature, climate & people

Arctic char migrating upriver from coastal marine waters to spawn, and then continue on to overwinter in a freshwater lake. Tough cookies!

Data collection has only recently shifted towards novel technology. While it certainly has its own merits, by no means was it developed to replace trans generational knowledge that has kept ecosystems thriving for centuries. https://t.co/vh8Wgq1AuW

1/2 Proud to have partnered with @ntesinan from June 29-July 19 on the Innu Nation Uinipeku Ocean Expedition, an exciting mission with @StudentsOnIce to participate in knowledge sharing and learning.

Fishy friends friends! Please circulate through your networks!

Great opportunity for a marine biologist position working to support the Listuguj Mi'gmaq Government seeking new ways to govern & manage fisheries with DFO! They need fisheries sci capacity!

@SBiosci Enough WTFs to warrant a more formal WTF statement.. someone send help, fishies are gettin’ hot!

"This isn't just research for the sake of research. This is research for the sake of #Nunatsiavut," said Michelle Saunders, a biologist and research manager.

New paper out in Biological Conservation: https://t.co/ey34cHZCsM
We conducted an analysis of the distribution of reference barcodes and whole genomes across inland water macro-organisms to identify taxa most in need of sequencing.

Wild brook trout spawning in Ontario. This time, the female lost some eggs as she was accidentally dislodged by the male. @wildsalmoncntr #nature

Freshwater ecosystems provide incredibly valuable resources and services - happy to see they are getting some attention! @SJC_fishy @jrobichaud_ @Dalal_EL_Hanna @PREAUX_FISH @Joe_Ecology

#️⃣1️⃣ We've made it to the top spot! The MOST-READ @cjfas paper of 2022 is this perspective on the state of #freshwater biodiversity in Canada from @jdesforg et al. Take a look here: https://t.co/DEoo4Gl3Ho and check out our feed for the rest of the countdown, if you missed it!

[Jessica Desforges @jdesforg]

So grateful that this prehistoric animal shared a snapshot of its life with @DFO_NL and @NG_Research in our mission to protect 30% of our oceans by 2030. This Greenland shark has likely been around for several hundreds of years - here’s to hoping it lives at least hundred more!

New in @cjfas: Researchers @COParksWildlife explored acute & chronic measures of thermal tolerance in 5 populations of native cutthroat trout. Knowledge of thermal tolerance thresholds can help predict the consequences of a warming climate. https://t.co/rlbNsGPSAS #FishSci
