Great talk today by @veronicagroves.bsky.social at the @sebiology.bsky.social regarding the use of surrogates to study at-risk fishes - working with imperilled fishes always important but has its challenges

Great to have the first year @ibiouwindsor.bsky.social class (BIOL1111 - Biodiversity) visit the Freshwater Restoration Ecology Centre to learn first hand about research regarding restoring habitat and species at risk fishes - students enjoyed the hands on experience at the end of the year

We are assessing pictures from @ibiouwindsor.bsky.social ⁦‪MSc student study on the effects of tank colour on Chinook salmon fry - here you can see same age fry from white tank (left) and black (right) tank - can you spot the difference?

Great to see our @ibiouwindsor.bsky.social Honours thesis research students representing us so well at the Ontario Biology Day hosted this year at Carleton University - both presented important work related to conservation captive breeding research

Thanks to @j-reid.bsky.social we had a great showing for @cdnsciencepub.bsky.social journals including CJFAS - look forward to the next @scas-scsa.bsky.social meeting co-hosted with our colleagues at @iaglr.bsky.social
Although weather and flight cancellations put a damper on the CJFAS party (sorry @not-klaatu.bsky.social 😢) we still had a blast at @scas-scsa.bsky.social. Thanks to my co-EICs for putting in some booth time @pitcherlab.bsky.social

Lots of @uwindsor.bsky.social fisheries and aquatic scientists at the SCAS conference
February 22, 2025 at 12:37 AM
Hoping to see many of you at the SCAS conference in couple of weeks in Hamilton, ON, Canada to discuss all things fishy, aquatic, limno, etc

Our lab continues to examines ways to mitigate the environmental mismatch issues that captive bred animals (intended for reintroduction) face - examining effects of tank colour on phenotype for salmon conservation
January 25, 2025 at 2:18 PM
Just a quick note to my fishy, limno and aquatic science folks, I am pleased to announce I will be serving as the co-Editor in Chief for Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences and look forward to connecting with many of you on this platform! Here is the link:
