Raby lab retreat this week at Harkness Lab of Fisheries Research was a great success! Thanks to the ghost of F.E.J. Fry for writing inspiration 👻🐟

So many great talks on the last couple days of #SEBconference! It was great to hear from @chris-on-fish.bsky.social and @bradhowell.bsky.social about their work at Trent, as well as my #DeakinMarine friends @gradito.bsky.social on work from her M.S. and Alex Berry on his PhD research 👏

Thank you @sebiology.bsky.social for having me at this year’s #SEBconference in Antwerp, Belgium. Today’s Open Animal session was a full house despite being a Friday morning!

Some great talks on fish metabolism, thermal tolerance, and bioenergetics by folks from @trentuniversity.bsky.social at this year’s #SEBconference in Antwerp, Belgium. @sebiology.bsky.social @erinmcstewart.bsky.social @jaydebon.bsky.social @chris-on-fish.bsky.social

Just out in Environmental Biology of Fishes! This paper is something to be proud of, we spent an incredible amount of time at some of Manitoba’s best lake trout fisheries.

What are the effects of tagging on fishes? 🐟 Our review + meta-analysis explores intracoelomic tagging effects in fishes. We summarize the existing literature and examine the 2% rule using evidence from a broad representation of all published studies. Preprint link below! 🧵

📣 Just published in @conphysjournal.bsky.social with @jacobbowman.bsky.social, Chris Wilson, and Graham Raby How much does upper thermal tolerance vary among wild populations of brook trout? What drives this variation? 🌡️ 🧵1/5 doi.org/10.1093/conp...

Are you a fish telemetry practitioner? The 7th International Conference on Fish Telemetry will take place June 8-13, 2025 in Traverse City, Michigan, USA. The conference website is now live for abstract submission and details on the venue. Help spread the word. event.fourwaves.com/7thicft/pages

Just came across this method from 1970: researchers used a periscope-like device frozen into the ice to watch fish under the surface. Such a clever way to study winter ecosystems! 🐟❄️ From Magnuson & Karlen (1970). #FisheriesScience doi.org/10.1139/f70-...

This study identified factors that affect behaviour and physiology of lake trout during catch-and-release angling. These insights may be used to develop context-specific best practices for angling. Read it here: doi.org/10.1093/conp...

NEW READ in @conphysjournal.bsky.social! We examined reflexes, blood indices, and brief post-release locomotor activity in lake trout angled during the summer and fall spawning season. With @sjcfishy.bsky.social, @calebhasler.bsky.social, and others. academic.oup.com/conphys/arti...

Had a great time today with Leah Howitt sharing some of the science we do at Queens University Biological Station. Missing from our booth is Mitchell Shorgan!

Sharing info with resource users is one of my favourite parts of the job. Check out our lake trout article in Hooked Magazine @calebhasler.bsky.social! www.hookedmagazine.ca/ground-break...

Congratulations to the 2023 Larkin Award Runner-up (PhD Level) Erin Stewart! Erin’s PhD w/ Dr. Raby and Dr. Wilson @TrentUniversity investigates physiological traits that influence the intraspecific thermal tolerances of wild #BrookTrout populations #SalvelinusFontinalis
