Had a great time talking restoration and protection of native Trout with Lesley!

Amazing to sit down with a person who taught me so much, including sticking to your principles!

This week we're introduced to new host for the podcast, Alanna Mnich, a postdoctoral researcher continuing research on larval Atlantic Bluefin Tuna among other side projects and interests. We cover her past work with larval cephalopods, low oxygen areas, and developing a new color line of chickens.

Canadaland is giving away ads to Canadian businesses that are facing scary times due to the still-looming tariff threat. Our listeners are in a mood to buy Canadian. If you’re willing to give them a great deal, we’ll help you out for free. Email [email protected] We’ll get through this together

In search of a Canadian company selling trail cameras / traffic cameras that upload to a common platform remotely. Anyone have leads? Thanks!

This week Julee Stewart (MSc. graduate) and Dr. Chris Somers (University of Regina) join Brendan to talk ice fishing outcomes for fish welfare from two of their recent studies on catch and release for Cisco and Northern Pike using different tackle on tip-ups in Saskatchewan.

This may be appealing to some of our followers: a fish themed version of the popular game Wingspan.

@jessebrown.bsky.social gonna need the name of that banger at the end of the we bombed the northern lights episode asap!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone but invasive species. Hate those guys.

Introducing the first new #lamprey genus in over a century! "Lampetra" brook and river lampreys in western North America now belong to the genus Occidentis. Although morphologically almost indistinguishable from Eurasian Lampetra, they are genetically VERY distinct. journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

This week on @fisheriespod.bsky.social Jason Granberg from the Wisconsin DNR joins and mywelf chat on the use of AI tools in Ecology and Conservation. We talked about how these new tools work, how they can be used in Ecology, and where to get started if you want to learn more! 1/4

@davidmoscrop.com sad about the pod being done (got through 70 percent of the recent episode so apologies if I missed a big reveal about what's next!). Have you read Tyrant by Stephen Greenbalt? The conversation today had me thinking about the takeaways from that book re: avoiding middle ground

Had a great conversation today about AI in ecology and generally. It will be on @fisheriespod.bsky.social in a few weeks. Probably one too many Dune references but I won't apologize for that!

Anyone have experience with organizing trail camera into a database? Looking at a project where we'll have 5+ cameras taking hundreds of pictures a day. Data will be beamed to a single location OR data will be manually downloaded and then put into the database.

Check out some of the work my team has been working on at the international border! www.canada.ca/en/fisheries...

This week Paige Kowal from Ducks Unlimited Canada and I to talk about Delta Marsh, an over 18,000 hectare freshwater coastal wetland in Manitoba. Delta Marsh is important habitat to migratory birds, native fishes, and has been impacted by Common Carp! Check it out on @fisheriespod.bsky.social

All I can say is wow. Feeling there's gonna be lots of Hg checks on local walleye populations in my neck of the woods soon. Another unexpected interaction that invasive species have with the ecosystems they disrupt.

Managed to get a stream of consciousness out on the long drive back to Canada. The dichotomy on the west versus the East when it comes to watercraft inspections is so interesting. A Geographic and geopolitical situation to say the least!

Meeting a with the computer science Dean at University of Manitoba next week to talk about a project. Nothing like a good old cross discipline project to get the creative juices flowing. We'll hopefully get to share more about it if it works out! And maybe even if it doesn't!

Interested in plant mycobiomes, wetland ecology, mycorrhizae, or working with Indigenous communities to explore climate-adaptive agriculture? #fundedPhD #fundedMSc opportunities in my lab.

At #umisc2024 in Duluth! Great exhibitors and already had some awesome conversations with folks from around the region.

Finished Sand County Almanac and regretting that it took me this long to get to. What a book. Making me want to move out of the city and buy a hobby farm asap. I think if I read it before Silent Spring instead of after I'd be in wildlife management right now.

Somehow in the last few days bluesky has become most concentrated science platform I've ever been on. Here's to communication and maybe even collaboration!

If you are an invasion biologist or work on related topics please comment on this post and I will add you to the starter pack! go.bsky.app/WsevAe

Finally found time to check the #umisc2024 agenda. Can't wait! I'm scheduled before the 2nd break. Not sure if that's good or bad. Come listen to me chat about folks who are driving thousands of miles to spread AIS!

Ty James!

Bringing a bunch of Marble Crayfish to #umisc for the invasive crayfish workshop! Only took me a week to get permits! Also looking for Duluth MN restaurant recommendations!

Where the fish people at on here? #Fisheries #aquaticInvasiveSpecies
