So excited to have the first chapter of my PhD thesis from @mylakehead published! Check it out at the link if you want to learn more about #hydroacoustics and #GreatLakesSci in #LakeSuperior.

Thanks Mike! Honoured to be the first (of hopefully many more)! Cheers!

Hey #iaglr23!! If you are able to stick around for the morning sessions tomorrow and are interested in #acousitics, #fishes, and/or #LakeSuperior; come by and take a look at the upside with me in Casson at 8:40AM!

Usually the SeaSpider only watches fish swim above it with sonar but this little spoonhead sculpin found one of the deepsea batteries to be a cozy home and inadvertently took a ride to the surface! #GreatLakesSci #ThunderBay #CEELab #hydroacoustics

SeaSpider going in to #LakeSuperior during a beautiful sunset on the @USGS high tech acoustic research project! Looking forward to learning from all the incoming data on fish densities and behavior across the lake! #GreatLakesSci #CEELab #hydroacoustics

Got out the better camera for the second Saildrone sighting! It’s in Canadian waters now, sampling the fish community of #ThunderBay!

@oulutown @fin__gen The Cisco were between 50-70mm, and the others were around 30mm!

[Ryan Grow @RyanCGrow]

Always exciting to see Lake Superior young of year #coregonines! These 11 were all field ID’d to cisco, but we also caught a kiyi, and 5 more that were too small to identify in our trawl. Destined for @fin__gen for genetic ID! #ciscoinferno

[Ryan Grow @RyanCGrow]

It’s a Lake Superior #coregonine hat-trick, three species in one midwater trawl! From top to bottom: Cisco (C. artedi), Bloater (C. hoyi), and the endemic Kiyi (C. kiyi). #ciscoinferno #GreatLakes

[Ryan Grow @RyanCGrow]

Our view of Saildrone from the @USGS R/V Kiyi last night on its mission to quietly and autonomously survey fish in the western arm of Lake Superior! #hydroacoustics #GreatLakesSci #Fisheries

[Ryan Grow @RyanCGrow]

SeaSpider got some time in the sun down at the R/V Kiyi dock during the @USGS Advanced Technologies in Great Lakes Fisheries Science celebration today! Looking forward to the upcoming deployments! #Acoustics #GreatLakesSci #CEELab

@megmcea @OpeongoTweets @eh__ross Haha, definitely could have used another line in the water!

[Ryan Grow @RyanCGrow]

Before and after for LT006, my first ever angled #LakeTrout, which also contributed to our scientific efforts at #pingfest2022 to improve our ability to differentiate fish species using wideband sonar! #hydroacoustics @OpeongoTweets

THIS was our #JASM22…

(in under two minutes)

[Ryan Grow @RyanCGrow]

Looking through my photos on the way back from #JASM22 and found one of my favorites featuring a Quillback and a few hundred aquatic scientists on the Grand River, what a great week of science! Shoutout to @Silverhart17 for the cool catch!

[Ryan Grow @RyanCGrow]

I know the conference fatigue is real but if you have any energy left tomorrow evening and are interested in hearing about spatial and daily fish movement patterns in Lake Superior using up-looking #acoustics, hope to see you for my talk in Monroe A at 3:45pm! #JASM22 #CEELab

[Ryan Grow @RyanCGrow]

What’s a journey to #JASM22 without a waterfall stop on the north shore of @LakeSuperior while on our way from Thunder Bay down to Grand Rapids! Looking forward to sharing our work and learning from all the other great speakers! @eh__ross @HaleyAMacLeod #CEELab

[Ryan Grow @RyanCGrow]

Had a fun time visiting the current Zimmer lab @UofStThomasMN and sharing some graduate school tips to some promising young aquatic ecologists! Added bonus to see that the LEGO #Daphnia I made during my time in the lab has survived the past 7 years!
