{Whistle blows}. FOUL! Still happens to the best of lakes, like #LakeMemphrémagog in Quebec. 🐚 Despite suboptimal Ca quality (mean 20 mg/L) Zebra Mussels still took hold. 7 years later…rather than 3 to 5. Got to consider water quality! #BrielleComartin #ZebraMussels #UnionidMortality

We got one! E-DNA for Redside Dace in the GTA, but not often. Cool part? Co-occurrence w/ other cool-water fish that build nests. Sharing, or reliance as nest hosts? #NicholasMandrak #RedsideDace #NestBuilders #Metabarcoding CJFAS, April 2026 (📸 #CambiumInc)

There are about 532,938 acres of #GreatLakes coastal wetlands - some 833 square miles - that provide habitat for nearly 80 species of fish species at some point during their life cycle. Yellow perch, pike, and bass all often start out their lives in these nurseries! #WorldWetlandsDay

A short feature from @trentuniversity.bsky.social on our research using @innovasea.com predation-sensing telemetry tags to study fish ecology! www.trentu.ca/news/story/2...

Oxygen supersaturation has negligible effects on warming tolerance across diverse aquatic ectotherms 14 ectotherms. 24 experiments. 147 CTmax trials. Over 1,450 animals. Results? Oxygen saturation is unlikely to protect most water-breathers from heatwaves. @graham-raby.bsky.social

Blackchin shiner exposed to warming and predation risk exhibit changes… Some like it hot. At least warmer, supporting notion that acclimation temps increase thermal tolerance. Check out the CTMax comparisons used! Anyone feel Thermal Maxima should be a spell from Harry Potter? #VeronicaGroves

A common claim is that zebra mussels "clean" lakes. They can certainly clear the water column but also create conditions that reduce oxygen & promote toxic algal blooms: phys.org/news/2021-06... www.canr.msu.edu/news/telecou... cdnsciencepub.com/doi/10.1139/... www.greatlakesnow.org/2021/07/rese...
