Dams on Maine rivers have long been known to impact fish populations, but a new UMaine-led study quantifying the time and energy lost by Atlantic salmon stopped by dams indicate that the structures might have even more of an impact than once thought. https://t.co/d6qEE7l2TP

What to pack when quantifying the energetic cost of dam-mediated delays in migrating adult Atlantic salmon:

☑️ radio-tags and antennas
☑️ temperature loggers
☑️ Fish Fatmeter

Did you know Atlantic salmon have the potential to spawn in multiple years but dams may force semelparity? @srrubenstein can tell you all about it! @ZFishLab #AFS152

[Sarah Rubenstein @srrubenstein]

Reconnecting with the Zydlewski lab (old and new) is always a highlight of the #AFS week

The UMaine Social at #AFS151 was a success! It was so nice to see so many UMaine alumni and friends come together in one place! Thanks to @ZFishLab for organizing!

[Sarah Rubenstein @srrubenstein]

@NepalVaskar Thank you for such kind words! I'm so glad you found it informative and interesting

[Sarah Rubenstein @srrubenstein]

A successful morning at #AFS151 summarizing my master's work!

[Julie Claussen @julielovesfish]

Atlantic Salmon have such an amazing life history. Great talk from @srrubenstein at #AFS151 on effects of dams + temperature on Atlantic Salmon populations in Maine.

[Sarah Rubenstein @srrubenstein]

@julielovesfish Thanks, Julie! It was exciting to have the chance to share our findings about such a neat fish

[UMaineAFS @UMaineAFS]

Our final meeting of the year! We celebrated with pizza and good company at the historic Veazie Dam site. It was great talking about the Penobscot River Restoration Project and all of the wonderful work we get to be a part of with aiding in the recovery of our diadromous fishes!

Spending the month of February studying Penobscot run Atlantic salmon eggs at Craig Brook National Fish Hatchery 🔍
