Just wrapped an incredible fieldwork week at Finse with @kwvollset.bsky.social 🎣 Fieldwork thread 🧵 (1/5)

PhD candidate Jessica Robichaud at Cooke lab at @carleton.ca is visiting us for a month to help with field work. Today, she presented her work for our lab. She is using acoustic telemetry to track permit in the Florida keys! So interesting to see some of her findings! 🐟 @sjcfishy.bsky.social

What a week it’s been! I’ve visited @lottepohl.bsky.social & David Casals at @vliz.be in Belgium for our #EMFish project. My first time seeing and tagging a Mustelus asterias - so cool! Thanks for a very fun day on the North Sea! @bergentelemetry.bsky.social @aquatictracking.bsky.social

Last week @lottesdahlmo.bsky.social visited @lottepohl.bsky.social and David Casals at @vliz.be through their #EMFish acoustic tracking project. Read more about her visit: www.bergentelemetry.com/post/fieldwo... @em-oyster.bsky.social @aquatictracking.bsky.social @oceantracking.bsky.social

New paper 🚨 Do pathogens predict salmon survival? In our recently published study on the Endangered Atlantic salmon, we combined acoustic telemetry with pathogen and gene expression profiles. Read the paper here doi.org/10.1002/aqc.... #Salmosalar #Telemetry

We’ve downloaded data from our receivers around Bergen city center for the #BOATS project. Interested to see an example of fine-scale positioning movement data from a tagged European lobster? Check out the BTN website here www.bergentelemetry.com/post/downloa...

We are now starting the second part of the #NFR_HITLICE project on Senja, Northern Norway, where we infect migrating salmon smolts with salmon lice and tag them with acoustic transmitters with predation sensors to investigate the vulnerability to predation 🐟

Beautiful day in field earlier this week deploying receivers in the fjords around Bergen city☀️ These will track some fascinating species that we’re going to tag through some new projects starting this year 🌊🦈🐠 #TrackingNotSlacking @oceantracking.bsky.social @aquatictracking.bsky.social

Interested in predation? Our #NFR_RePress project investigates the reemerging conflicts between European Otter and Atlantic salmon in Norway. Go check out our webpage for an update of the development of the project: www.bergentelemetry.com/post/progres... Photo credit: Vegard Lødøen

We've installed a PIT antenna in Nidelva to track returning Atlantic salmon smolts tagged last year through our #NFR_HITLice project. Smolts were infested with sea lice before release. Low discharge makes drilling the antenna to the riverbed easier, still a river with 3–4°C makes it quite tough!

🚨 New project 🚨 @saveourseas.bsky.social is funding our #SOSF_GhostTrack project - we’re tracking ghost sharks, Chimaera monstrosa, around Bergen city! Read more here: www.bergentelemetry.com/post/excitin... @lottesdahlmo.bsky.social #trackingnotslacking

Dean Grubbs is visiting our lab and will holding a guest lecture at Univerisity of Bergen. Stop by if you happen to be in Bergen.

Interested in predator-prey dynamics & habitat restoration? Check out our new review paper🚨 We discuss the importance of habitat complexity as a refuge, for phenotype variation, energetic costs, & apparent competition - and their implications for restoration. doi.org/10.1111/rec....

De siste tre dagene har det nyoppnevnte Vitenskapsrådet vært samlet på Meråker. 11 medlemmer ble oppnevnt på nytt, og tre nye forskere tar fatt på arbeidet sammen med dem. #villaks vitenskapsradet.no/Nyheter/nytt...

We spent the last field days in December retrieving receivers for our eel project in Storelva in southern Norway. All found, none lost! Looking forward to starting 2025 digging into the data✨ @tormodharaldstad.bsky.social @kurtjoh.bsky.social

Manuscripts drafted and written, revisions done, application sent in, and we even had a GAM crash course - safe to say we can call the third year of writing retreat a success! ❄️

🗯️ #Angling 🎣 increases pike timidity and lure avoidance, potentially reducing catch rates 🐟. Our latest study in #Fisheries Management and #Ecology explores these effects and their implications for management strategies. #Fish

Recently out in Science Advances, we compiled and reviewed the evidence surrounding pathogens from salmon aquaculture and their risk to wild Pacific salmon in British Columbia. We highlight pathogen impacts in relation to climate change, evolution & management 🧪🐡🌎🐠 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

New publication! "The Pathobiome of Salmo trutta From the North Sea to the Barents Sea". We studied pathogens of sea trout along the Norwegian coast and find remarkable similar pathobiome from north to south. @robertlennox.bsky.social @sjcfishy.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

A beautiful place to do some writing. Sad that this years writing retreat at Finse is over @lottedahlmann.bsky.social @robertlennox.bsky.social @tormodharaldstad.bsky.social

Second day of the BTN writing retreat is a success! We’re taking a break from writing this evening with a crash course on why use GAMs for ecological data like animal tracking 💻📈 @bergentelemetry.bsky.social

The best meeting of the year!

One of the few salmon we have tracking data on during their marine feeding…

We’re tagging Atlantic salmon in the #Arctic! PI @tormodharaldstad.bsky.social of the #NFR_NICE project with a tagged salmon being released in #Svalbard 🗻 Read more here: www.bergentelemetry.com/post/update-... #Trackingnotslacking #SalmoSalar

This AI tool to analyze circuli spacing in salmon scale is really impressive. academic.oup.com/biomethods/a...

I’ll be talking about fish and tracking together with Keno Ferter next Thursday! www.uib.no/en/ocean/169...

🪶 Less than a month after those dams have come down in the largest dam removal project in US history, salmon are once more returning to spawn in creeks that have been cut off to them for generations.Video shows that hundreds of salmon have made it to tributaries. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Exciting news🎉 Our PUFFINS project is receiving funding from the Norwegian Research Council! Building on our BOATS project, we're expanding to track European eel & chimaera around Bergen city center during the next phase of a seabed restoration project led by the Municipality of Bergen. #NFR_PUFFINS

An impressive summary of years of work on the effect amplifying pathogens in fish farms have on wild Pacific salmon. I guess the summary is - it's complicated... www.science.org/doi/full/10....

Still a few spots left on the Early Career Ecologists starter pack. Please let me know if you'd like to be included! go.bsky.app/Di74bDy

I just posted my last tweet: So long... I will always cherish the many ideas, new connections, and opportunity to interact with a broader community from my time on Twitter/X. It is now time to move on to blue hues. I'll be at sjcfishy.bsky.social and on our lab Facebook page.

New to BlueSky! Hopefully this can be a more interesting social media for #scicomm. Drop me a follow if you are interested in aquatic ecology, fish, salmon, sharks, arctic ecology, marine biology, acoustic telemetry, tracking etc. And check out: www.bergentelemetry.com for our projects.
