Pink salmon, native to the North Pacific, are rapidly invading Nordic waters. Since 2017, numbers have surged 50x, especially in Norway. Their impact on ecosystems remains unclear due to limited research and management plans #fish #invasive Read more here: doi.org/10.60910/ber...

Submersed aquatic vegetation (SAV) enhances epifaunal diversity & abundance, esp. grazers. 🌱🐌🐚🌊Filamentous algal mats mainly increase gastropod populations. Protecting SAV & reducing eutrophication are vital for sustaining Baltic Sea invertebrate communities. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Bottom trawling, dragging a heavy net across the seafloor, has been compared to burning down a forest to catch rabbits. Sweden starting to ban this in sensitive habitats is my #EarthOptimism #OceanOptimism for today. 🦑🧪🌎🐠 (I’m not anti-trawl but there are some places we shouldn’t do it)

Fantastic PhD opportunity to study invasive Pink salmon with a geniune multidisciplinary team - if you have skills in fish ecology, stats and/or social science then move quickly to apply. UK and non-UK students welcome. Please forward.

Great work by Karen Dunmall explaining our new paper on Pink salmon and range expansion, selected by ICES Journal of Marine Science as their Editor's Choice this week. Liking the video explainer that accompanies these papers.

Post-doc position available! Join us in this exciting project where we will use more than 100 years of data to investigate habitat choice and availability of the elusive European eel. The position will be based at SLU Aqua in Stockholm. Apply before January 7. Please repost!

Post doc opportunity: Join the Institute of Freshwater Research, Drottningholm and work with a legendary fish species (eel). !!Apply this week!! 🐟🐠🐡🧪🔬 #fishsci

New report out: Management of Pink Salmon in the North Atlantic and Their Potential Threats to Wild Atlantic Salmon. 🐟🧪 Info from the special session at the NASCO annual meeting June 2024 nasco.int/wp-content/u... #bioinvasions @evathorstad.bsky.social @profcolinbean.bsky.social

Pink salmon is the smallest Pacific salmon species (the genus Oncorhynchus) found in North America, often weighing <5 lb (2.2 kg). “Oncorhynchus” comes from the Greek onkos ("hook") + rynchos ("nose"), in reference to the hooked jaws males typically develop in the spawning season #25DaysofFishmas

Sharing this photo of a native oyster bed in one of our survey sites here for the first time. This was my coelacanth moment, especially as many deny these oyster habitats even exist. Same as eels, Ostrea edulis (the species and the habitat) are threatened and yet we keep managing them as a fishery.

Exotic European gudgeon is replacing Italian gudgeon in Italian streams and rivers. We tested interspecific differences in the lab. The smaller Italian gudgeon displayed lower maximum swimming speed and substantially higher sympatric mortality. Recent paper here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Salmon maps made by @lukefi.bsky.social are now online for wild salmon rivers in Finland! You can view distribution areas and monitoring sites in the Luonnonvaratieto website. Time series of collected data is being made available too.

The European eel has strongly declined, and numbers of glass eel remain very low. In 2024, the recruitment of glass eel was near a historical low in the North Sea area (1% of the level in the 1960-70s, elsewhere 7%). Report from ICES eel group doi.org/10.17895/ice...

I was always hoping there was a way to find the salmonid scientists on here easily. Now there is! Please comment to be added, it is (very) incomplete 🙏 #salmon #FishSci go.bsky.app/GSn7fKy

Left the other place run by Trump's buddy? Here's a starter pack of freshwater scientists to get you started. Also, if you're a freshwater scientist and want to be added, let me know. Still space available. go.bsky.app/K5ubDhb
