Fish ecophysiologist, but like in the wild 🐟 telemetry, biologging & physiology for conservation 🌊
we acoustically-tagged lumpfish!! 🙌 we know next to nothing about what happens to lumps after they leave their spawning sites on the coasts - we hope to resolve some of that mystery with detections on the Danish Straits & Kattegat arrays 🐟

I’m only responsible for like 800 of these 😂
Happy World Wildlife Day!

Over the years, ETN members have tracked an astounding 147 species, with our current top 20 showcased here.

Doing so has taught us so much about the wildlife that surrounds us. Let's take a look at some of the things we've learned about aquatic wildlife using telemetry...

There’s been a migration of folks over here so I thought I’d say hi! 👋 I’m a fish ecophysiologist, studying when & why fish are vulnerable (climate, catch-and-release), movements, and the habitats they rely on using both experimental approaches and telemetry, in the wild! 🐟🦈

well, I’ve finally made the switch, so here I am 🙃 I’m a fish biologist, doing ecophysiology, aquatic tracking (everything telemetry) and lots of other stuff. From salmon to hawkfish to eel to tuna to sharks 🐟 passionate about conservation of aquatic ecosystems 🌊 🤍
