How do European eels use urban habitats? 🐟 Our team began tagging eel in November - starting in a tiny pond in the city center that is connected to the fjord. We're excited to see their movement and behavior. Read more about the tagging here: www.bergentelemetry.com/post/tagging... #NFR_PUFFINS

Went out trying to catch and tag Chimaera monstrosa, ghostsharks, for the #SOSF_GhostTrack / #NFR_PUFFINS projects. Didn’t manage to catch any unfortunately, but we did catch a beautiful blackmouth catshark 🦈 We’ll try again next week! @saveourseas.bsky.social @bergentelemetry.bsky.social

Tagged some sea trout (Salmo trutta) Friday evening for our #RFF_BOATS project. Will hopefully get some cool positioning data from the bay once they leave the river! 🐟 @bergentelemetry.bsky.social

It's international #ghostshark day! So exciting to study the behaviour of Chimaera monstrosa in Norwegian fjords -contributing to filling important knowledge gaps about their ecology. Thanks to @saveourseas.bsky.social for funding the #SOSF_GhostTrack project. @bergentelemetry.bsky.social

💡Claudia works as a data manager for the European Tracking Network, she mainly supports European researchers to upload and access their ETN data, and makes sure that ETN stays FAIR, up-to-date with community standards and available in other data repositories such as OBIS. #EEA2025

🦈Lotte works in the animal movement and behavioural ecology team of VLIZ. She investigates seasonal presence and hotspots of fish in the North Sea, using acoustic telemetry. She is also involved in the European Tracking Network, which connects fish tracking researchers all over Europe. #EEA2025

🌊 New acoustic array deployed in the Fundian Channel! This fall, our telemetry team worked offshore south of Yarmouth, NS, installing 18 acoustic receivers to monitor aquatic species in this ecologically rich region.

We’re thrilled to announce two new NFR-funded tracking projects! #NFR_CARECOD explores cod evolution and adaptation in Norway’s fjords, while #NFR_ROPES investigates Arctic resilience and ecosystem tipping points. Read more about both projects here: www.bergentelemetry.com/post/two-new...

Amazing Friday out on the fjord - 8 Atlantic cod tagged! 🐟☀️ With sediment dumping and hydropower changes planned in the area, we’re collecting crucial before data to see how cod behaviour and habitat use shift as the fjord environment changes.

We've been out popping up acoustic release receivers for fine-scale positioning of thornback rays in our beautiful fjords. Several million detections to work with over the past year! Read more here: www.bergentelemetry.com/post/a-year-... #trackingnotslacking #NFR_LOST #NFR_NorTrack #NFR_DTOTrack

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

Before summer, PhD students Saron Berhe & Erlend M Hanssen joined the 20th anniversary NoWPaS workshop in Halifax. Five days of talks, networking & exploring Halifax with early-career salmonid researchers from around the world. They also both presented their PhD projects🐟🦦 @nowpas.bsky.social

Looking for a scientific illustrator/graphic designer based in Canada in the "environmental/conservation" space to help with a synthesis figure for a paper. Please ping me with ideas.

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

Have you used fish telemetry in your research? @cjfas.bsky.social is accepting submissions on how telemetry is being applied to support conservation and management in aquatic ecosystems. This includes work from @icft2025.bsky.social ▶️ buff.ly/Y2FTYRL

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

Hello fishy friends! 🐠 We’re the team behind the scenes at the European Tracking Network — serving up deep science and even deeper puns 😈🐡 🎣 [Thread incoming] 🎣

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...

Today is International Shark Day! Sharks are over 550 species that come in many shapes and sizes, from the minuscule 20 cm long dwarf lanternshark to the almost 100 times longer whale shark. Amazing! (but not a surprise, which was ruined by their names).

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 🐟

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

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

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

Happy International Women and Girls in Science Day! Today, we honor the women who've made incredible contributions to STEM in the past, overcoming challenges and hostile environments 🌸 We're inspired by & appreciate all the amazing & hard working women in our field around the globe! #womeninstem

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...

Last week’s study hall somehow resulted in us swimming around with acoustic tags in our socks in the fjord today! @bergentelemetry.bsky.social @mathildeoddekalv.bsky.social

New paper out from our #NFR_PACE project! We combined acoustic telemetry with gill biopsies to investigate the activity of anadromous brown trout during their spawning migration in three rivers in Norway. You can find the paper here: doi.org/10.1111/jfd.... #Telemetry #Pathogens #SalmoTrutta

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

The gang's all here with us for @oceantracking.bsky.social 's 2024 Node Manager Training. Representatives from 10 animal telemetry networks are learning for the first time or getting a refresher on the ins and outs of using OTN software to manage their telemetry data systems.

Acoustic telemetry reveals the small spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula) is most active at night and relies on inshore waters, especially females. Small MPAs may not fully protect them. Larger MPAs and nighttime fishing bans could improve conservation. 🦈🌊 doi.org/10.1002/aqc.... #sharks

There’s been a migration of folks over here so I thought I’d say hi! 👋 I’m a fish ecophysiologist, studying when & why fish are vulnerable (climate, catch-and-release), movements, and the habitats they rely on using both experimental approaches and telemetry, in the wild! 🐟🦈 www.kimbirniegauvin.com
