Check out our new WI Fishing Finder. Public access, boat ramps, regulations, habitat, stocking histories, consumption advisories and more, all in one map. We can’t find the fish for you, but we can help you decide where to give it a shot dnrmaps.wi.gov/H5/?viewer=WFF

Some work days are better than others. Great to see adult sturgeon beginning to show up in the Milwaukee River after two decades of rehabilitation efforts.

Elbows up, Canada.

Cool to see the progress on #Fishpass on the Boardman/Ottawa River in downtown Traverse City, MI. More info here www.glfc.org/fishpass.php

Unexpected bottom topography (ridges of clay with what look like scour holes) at 110 m in Lake Michigan. Anyone know more about these geologic features?

Check out this new paper led by @tabrown.bsky.social on recruitment trends in coregonines dating back to the 1960s in the #GreatLakes and #LakeSimcoe. Lake whitefish showed synchrony across lakes whereas cisco were more sporadic. academic.oup.com/icesjms/adva...

Yall, Milwaukee kicks ass…

I think @karenjmurchie.bsky.social would be great guest for @ologies.bsky.social! Tired: gars Wired: suckers!

Post-doc opportunity! Interested in SDMs and bycatch genetic data? Stock-specific Modeling of Bering Sea Chum Salmon: Integrating fishery-dependent observations with genetic data Led by Curry Cunningham and an excellent team of UAF and NOAA collaborators!

New paper lead by my former graduate student Ariel Edwards. If you’re interested in Lake Superior/Great Lake food webs give a read! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Now that I have some followers here, figured I'd post this here too: we have an ongoing cluster hire (THREE faculty positions) in Biology at Lakehead- transformational change in the department. Will provide links to each position in a thread below, but please DM or reach out with questions (1/6)

It's #WorldFisheriesDay! You can celebrate by registering for our upcoming Fisheries Management Section webinar, "Conservation Milestone: Apache Trout Delisting," highlighting the first recovery of a sportfish species. December 4 at 1:30 pm EST - register: events.teams.microsoft.com/event/2ad43b...

I’m recruiting at least one graduate student starting summer of 2025. Will consider both MS or PhD students. Folks with isotope or acoustic telemetry experience are particularly encouraged to apply!

GEOMAR research division Marine Ecology is hiring. www.geomar.de/en/karriere/.... Seeking a creative, integrative pelagic ecologist working beyond competition and predation. Located at the Baltic Sea, Kiel is offering a vibrant academic research environment, directly at the seashore

Beer, Bucks, and Brown Trout. Got to meet a few Seeforellen’s this week.

One of our weird discoveries: 1st field-documented case of a zebra mussel attached to a fish (lake chub). This phoretic association could facilitate 1) within-basin spread of zebra mussels via fish migration & 2) overland transport by anglers moving baitfish. redpath-staff.mcgill.ca/ricciardi/Ri...

This year has been a whirlwind but thankful to be firmly anchored back in the Great Lakes region. Looking forward to establishing a fisheries research program at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Projects on Lake Sturgeon and Lake Trout incoming!
