Communities, researchers measure ice thickness on the Great Lakes

Researchers want help from ice fishers and others who go onto frozen lakes to collect crucial data, which could improve ice forecasting on the Great Lakes.

At work, we often anaesthetise, perform surgery on, and tag juvenile fish. We wanted to find out if these procedures impact their oxygen consumption in the following days. Good news, we didn't find cause for concern! 🙂 Open access here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Assessing metabolic rate and post‐tagging recovery in juvenile fish

Juvenile fish play a crucial role in the health of aquatic ecosystems, serving both as the foundation for future adult populations and as a valuable food source. Studying the juvenile life stage of f...

It's unbelievable to me that the jobs of USGS scientists—who are essential to understanding and protecting fish and fisheries—are at risk. Their work is absolutely critical.

Clare Venney@clarevenney.bsky.social · last yr.

All of the USGS ecosystems folks I know are amazing scientists and humans. The Great Lakes and their fishes would be lost without them

Hi bluesky! I am looking for a video showing how to run the smith-root backpack model...you know, a resource that explain all the settings (beside the manual pdf)...anyone could help!?? That would be amzing.....it is our first time trying it, so just want to understand better how it works....

About 15-20 yrs ago, a bunch of reviews (inc. 1 by me) made predictions about the future of genomics in conservation. 1 yr ago at ICISB, Robin Waples assessed which of those predictions had been fulfilled. Sam May & Sam Rosenbaum now led the effort to turn this into a review: doi.org/10.1111/mec....
