I attended a conference this week in the US and had some mixed feelings about it beforehand. Many of my colleagues from Europe were missing-probably for similar reasons. It was a great conference, and I greatly appreciated the insights from the community. 1/n

While photos often struggle to give you an idea of the size of fish, this picture offers a glimpse into the dimensions of the 120 cm Danube salmon (Huchen) we encountered two weeks ago. It’s a great shot to appreciate the scale of this remarkable catch! #fishsky

Hi there, my student is making a survey about the use of R packages in Ecology, could you please spend two mins on filling it 🥹 Very appreciated! And if you could spread it further (RT), that would be just awesome. ❤️ docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

what do you get with a river-full of hydropower, anglers, citizen science, eNGOs, and govt scientists? a masterclass in co-production, adaptive management, deescalating conflict, skilled knowledge transfer #conservation #socialscience 🧪 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Researcher: "We let the data speak for itself." Earlier that day:

I have a new paper at #JFB that uses Bayesian and frequentist methods to model the growth of the European grayling in an alpine river based on different data sets. If you're interested, you can find the article here: doi.org/10.1111/jfb.... @thefsbi.bsky.social

It's fascinating how dependent one place can be on one fish species. I'm in a little fishing town in Mexico, and everything here is about Permit and the fly fishers going after them. #fishsky

Something was in the mail today, and I'm quite excited about it. 😃 #quantecology

Made some circular density plots with ggplot this morning. If that type of graph doesn't have a proper name yet could we name them coffee-stain-plots? #rstats

12,347 tagged fish (13 species in 4 habitats) in a bit over a year. No wonder I'm tired all the time 😅. My vacation starts tomorrow, and hopefully, I can do some fancy data analysis once I'm back. But for now, I won't spend a thought on that stuff. #fishsky
