There’s plenty of lumpfish in the fjords, but we rarely catch them - our fishing is focused on the more mobile gadids.
Yesterday’s tiny (and very cute) by-catch was definitely worth a photo.

Recent paper shows that 1YO saithe disperses from fjords when temps are high showing a stronger link with temp than 1YO cod. Is 3–11°C optimal for saithe?
Ongoing projects on the “coastal duo” #teamfish
We are seeking suggestions on research(ers) studying 0-group saithe optimal temp or ecology 🌡️🦑

This semester our Uni Iceland Centre hosted a weekly group of 13-15 YO from the #local school 🧪👩🔬
Favorite practical was extracting otoliths and aging cod from the local #fishery vs #otoliths from archeol. dig dating to 900-1600 🐟🎣🌊
2 groups chose to disseminate via tiktok (stills shared with perm)

Feeling fresh after a beautiful day of #winter #fieldwork 🌊❄️
Today with Luca Altavilla from Uni Venice 🇮🇹 collaborating with us to look at #sculpin stress – measured by cortisol and movement – as an indicator🐟🧪
My fav fjord Seyðisfjörður is our low impact study system 🏔️🦑

Offloading acoustic receivers still feels like Christmas 🎁🧪
Mixed feelings scanning the fate of the small (~15-22cm) Atlantic cod that were tagged with V5 predation tags by @fiafinn.bsky.social et al last July! 6 out of 50 predation tags triggered 🐟🐠🌍 #fisheatfish #trackingnotslacking #teamfish

Hi, I'm Guðbjörg a fish ecologist at Uni Iceland
I like many methods, including #acoustictelemetry, #behavior, #stakeholder involvement and #historical ecology, but have a core interest in intraspecific variation and #biodiversity.
Me and group (pictured) are based in the beautiful #Westfjords 🏔️🌊
