Coho are typically thought to rear in their natal habitat for a year before migrating to sea. We found that many fish (44%) leave their natal habitat early and spend several months rearing in the lower portion of the creek before emigrating. (3/8)

Great work by Karen Dunmall explaining our new paper on Pink salmon and range expansion, selected by ICES Journal of Marine Science as their Editor's Choice this week. Liking the video explainer that accompanies these papers.
🌍🐟The Arctic’s warming waters are fuelling pink salmon’s rapid expansion.
✍️The latest #IJMS #EditorsChoice presents a global strategy for managing species on the move.

Which exploitation strategy should be adopted for salmonid metapopulations? 🎣 Could knowledge of source-sink dynamics improve their management?

Our latest paper is just out!

Simulations results 📈 suggest being not selective as the best strategy 💡
