ICE Fish Research - a platform to bring cool fish research done in Iceland closer to you Also check out our website: www.icefishresearch.com/
Did you ever wonder what stickleback eat growing up? Ask no more! Today we share a new publication talking just about that. link.springer.com/.../10.1007/... #scienceisfun #sciencecommunication #fish #icefishresearch
Did you know that not all fish are the same? Beneath the waves lies an incredible variety of life. Discover the three major fish types and the traits that make each one unique. #icefishresearch #FunFactFriday #iceland #fishfacts #fish #ocean
We are tracking Arctic charr! A new collaborative project between @mfri.bsky.social and @haskoliislands.bsky.social within the LIFE Icewater project. Today we deployed acoustic receivers in Thingvallavatn to track Arctic charr. This will help us better understand their habitat use and mortality.
Have you ever heard of filter feeders? Learn about them now 🐟🐋🦪 #filterfeeders #education #biology #aquatics #icefishresearch
Learn how AI can detect fish underwater🐟 A study conducted by @joaosmartins.bsky.social and his colleagues from Hafrannsóknastofnun looked into this. Read more: 🇬🇧 icefishresearch.com/underwater-d... #sciencecommunication #aitools #science #biology #salmon #education #educational #icefishresearch
Anja Nickel from University of Iceland, Research Centre of the Westfjords and @NAVE along with her co-authors: Sigurd Heiberg Espeland, Steven E. Campana, Esben Moland Olsen, Guðbjörg Ásta Ólafsdóttir published a paper in the Marine Ecology Progress Series (MEPS). DOI: doi.org/10.3354/meps...
@icefishresearch.bsky.scial Learn more about a research project that is currently ongoing where Dr. kalina Kapralova and her team are studying the science of being small, miniaturisation! Read the post here: 🇮🇸 icefishresearch.com/margur-er-kn... 🇬🇧 icefishresearch.com/tiny-but-mig...
Have you ever wanted to learn about fish teeth. This week we are highlighting a new publication which looked at diversity in tooth number and angle in Arctic charr from lake Þingvallavatn. Want to learn more: icefishresearch.com/differences-...
Field update: Sampling for CODSPA project to understand how fishing pressures affects Atlantic cod is in full swing—eDNA, cortisol (milt/eggs/brain), gametes for rearing juveniles, and acoustic telemetry + hydrophones in Eyjafjörður to track behaviour. Full blog next week! #ScienceComm #Fieldwork
Did you ever wonder what aquaculture is? Wonder no more. Let's talk about it! #aquaculture #fishfarming #seaweed #algae #icefishresearch
This week we highlight a recent publication. Which looked at differences between Arctic charr morphs in two lakes. They found that corresponding morphs between the two lakes had similar shape. Some morphs had similar genetics while others did not. Read more: icefishresearch.com/genetic-and-...

Last week we attended NoWPaS (International Workshop of PhDs and Post-doctoral Fellows on Anadromous Salmonids), held at Hólar in Hjaltadal, Iceland. We were happy to learn about all the interesting salmonid research and workshop with international researchers. @nowpas.bsky.social #sciencecomm
Two weeks ago we had the pleasure to attend a stakeholder meeting at The Marine and Freshwater Institute to discuss a data-rich and climate-resilient future for fisheries with Infinifish and MarineGuardian. #sciencecommunication #science #biology #education #educational #fisheries
Congratulations Kenedy on succesfully defending your MSc! Read more about her research and about Kenedy herself: icefishresearch.com/childhood-dr... #ICEFishResearch #sciencecomm #sciencecommunication #science #biology #education #educational #scientistspotlight
Today we want to celebrate Gabrielle Ladurée, a PhD candidate at Hólar University and the University of Iceland as she got awarded a Rannís grant. Not only that, she also recently published her first study that came out of her PhD! Check out her paper link.springer.com/article/10.1...
A paper on temperature effects on fish, written by Bass Dye. Nominative determinism strikes again! (Interesting-looking paper too!)
🌊Our latest research suggests releasing pollack close to their catch depths can result in their survival rates increasing from 56% for surface-released fish to more than 80%! #MarineScience #Fishing #OceanResearch #Plymouth #PollackFISP www.plymouth.ac.uk/news/releasi...
Releasing pollack at depth could benefit their long-term survival

This week we will start off the weekend with a rather unexpected flatfish (fun) fact 👀🐟 If you want to find out more, check out this paper: journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...
Big news for capelin: new quota recommendation is HIGH🐟🐟🐟 Do you want to learn more? News Articles: www.hafogvatn.is Podcast episode: Fiskaspjall on youtube: Pamela Woods #icefishresearch #fiskaspjall #fisheries #capelin #sustainablefishing
Depending on the project, there are different ways to age a fish (species-by-species basis) where measuring scale and otolith rings are great examples. That can, for example, provide information on growth rates and life history traits #ICEFishResearch #research #iceland #funfactfriday #fishyfunfacts
Can YOU say what makes a fish a fish???? 🐟🐠🐡 #icefishresearch #fish #sciencecommunication #DidYouKnow
What is Electrofishing? Electrofishing is a fishing method which uses electricity to catch fish. It is a common method used by scientists when doing surveys as it does not kill or harm fish. The fish can just swim away when electricity is turned off. #icefishresearch #sciencecommunication
Thank you for a great 2025! We are looking forward to another year filled with fun events and educational content 🎉🐟 #icefishresearch #2025wrapped #icelandic #educational
We will be back next year with more fishy content 🐟🐟🐟 Gleðilega hátíð 🎄🎄🎄 #happyholidays #gleðilegahátíð #icefishresearch
We are so proud of our new podcast. Cosy up with a hot chocolate and listen to our wonderful guests in season 1 of Fiskaspjall 🐟 #fiskaspjall #podcast #sciencecommunication #icefishresearch
