Still a nice full room today for our 48th Larval Fish Conference in Québec City. Céline Audet start the day with a broad keynote address on her larvae rearing experiment. @amfisheriessoc.bsky.social @uqar.bsky.social

A little treat today with a morning out of the office, sampling Threespine sticklebacks in Kenogamie lake with students of the lab. Great success and weather! They will be used in a great project with @ecoevoevoeco.bsky.social, @gehaines.bsky.social & many more!

New article now online: Parallels and discrepancies between non-native species introductions and human migration. Thank you Philip Haubrock for leading this interesting manuscripts and very diverse group! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Au génie!

Striking example of the large, longterm and pervasive impacts of plastic pollution, using a small freshwater stream engineer; the caddisfly larvae, brilliant work!

Super happy to see our new article on how pharmaceutical pollution can influence salmon migration out in @science.org! This was a huge effort by a great team of researchers over the last few years! You can read the paper here: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…!

C'est parti pour #lesChefs, des candidats d'expérience. Y'a pas de verts dans ce défi de verdure.

“De-extinction” is to biodiversity loss what “Mars colonization” is to climate change—wishful thinking that is at its core impossible but nevertheless sucks up attention and resources from actual solutions to these crises (which, ultimately, might be the whole point)

Of course @bradhowell.bsky.social have to be mentionned in this study, sorry did not find your handle firsthand!

Status of Lake Trout populations in Manitoba, a welcomed point of reference for management part of Giulio Navarroli MSc work, with @calebhasler.bsky.social et al. @uwinnipeg.bsky.social Very glad to be part of this work! @springer1842.bsky.social link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Seeing young and good scientists like @lizrenner.bsky.social layed off like this is so heartbreaking, I hope things will improve soon...

Absolutely terrible. @lizrenner.bsky.social is an amazing scientist, colleague, and friend. SMFH. The attacks on our science, public lands, and PEOPLE of this country are real. We will ALL be affected. www.keloland.com/keloland-com...

@lizrenner.bsky.social has been on my mind a lot the last week. I can only hope that our field doesn’t lose her, and the thousands others going through the same experience, permanently. We’ll all be worse off if we do. 🐟🐠🌎🧪

Fish can actually be aged with any calcified body part, including fin rays, scales, and opercles! Otoliths are more accurate, but scales and fin rays can be taken without killing the fish. During undergrad, I aged several thousand bluegill scales from 4 lakes to determine growth rates

we must resist!! 🧪🐠 i was very heartened to see this email today from the @amfisheriessoc.bsky.social pres “we are not stopping or diluting efforts to continue supporting climate change solutions in our work plans” “AFS will not tremble … providing safety, openness, and nurturing diversity” !!!

All the #SundayFishSketch folks should follow Emily. As Stephen daid, brilliant illustrator that will probably increase you feed's beauty!

What!? Oh yes

Phew, I'm back. Took a break during this holiday season, paid me also a nice Strep infection just after Christmas, I'm now 2 days since the beginning of the antiobiotics and finally feeling better just in time to begin this semester. 🫠

Grad student positions available with the Fraser Lab (not on bsky) at Concordia U in Montreal! I got my PhD there, and I can’t say enough good things about the lab, the city, and the field sites. Spread the word!

Can’t get over how weird this new catfish is …

Cirrhilabrus bathyphilus, the “Deepwater Wrasse” This is a really beautiful species native to northeast Australia, New Caledonia, and southern Vanuatu. It belongs to a small lineage of very distinctive fairy wrasses with only two other species.

Précipité, irresponsable, honteux, je ne sais plus quel qualificatif donné au comportement du Ministre de l'environnement dans le dossier de cette usine...

Merci à Outlook 360 pour cette option tout à fait inutile. Je m'en tiendrai aux options déjà intégrées et qui ne me limite pas à 1 PDF par mois! 😅

Have a holly, jolly (roger) #Fishmas! ☠️🐟 Ahoy from the Pirate Perch (Aphredoderus sayanus), kicking off the first day of #GreatLakes #25DaysofFishmas! This fish is secretive, nocturnal, and has a very… unique anatomy - and it's the answer to this week's #SundayFishSketch mystery theme!

A pirate perch for this #25daysoffishmas #SundayFishSketch crossover.

Southern Quebec is losing its wetlands at an alarming rate, all this fueled by ineffective application of the "no net loss" principle by the governement. Locals are stepping-up to raise the issue and protect what is remaining. therover.ca/why-are-queb...

The most wonderful time of the year, the #SundayFishSketch and #25DaysofFishmas crossover! This week, I guessed our mystery fish was the Pirate Perch, a fish charismatic little fellow!

Kai is here on Blusky, considers a follow of this #teamfish great member!
