Animal physiology postdoc @NTNU interested in 🐟 and global change. Passionate about science and education, also Dutch and 🏳️‍🌈 (she/her).
The app, user instructions, and scripts are on Github: github.com/HenHus/Husmo.... A big thank-you to the entire team, brilliant computer science student Henning Kristiansen, Moa Metz, Lorena Silva-Garay @lorenasilvag.bsky.social, and Fredrik Jutfelt @jutfelt.bsky.social 🙏

You can use HusMorph to analyse images of fish — like the above example — or whatever your favourite study organism is 🐟🦐🥬 See our Toolbox paper in Conservation Physiology @conphysjournal.bsky.social for more info: doi.org/10.1093/conp....

This research was done at the @kristinebergcenter.bsky.social in Sweden 🌊🪸🦐 I also received support from @sebiology.bsky.social y.bsky.social when writing up the paper🙏

All in all, I think this is a neat study about 'how fish work' with some cool results 🙂🔎 Don't hesitate to let us know if you have any questions!

Meanwhile, skin exposures to cold or warm temperatures did not seem to trigger acclimation. Specifically, we briefly and repeatedly dipped fish in a cold or warm water bath 🛁, and there were no clear signs of an acclimation response afterwards.

We found that circulating hormones likely control the process of adjusting the metabolism to the cold ☝ We showed this by collecting plasma from cold acclimated donors, injecting it into recipients reared at a regular temperature 💉, whose metabolism then appeared to become cold acclimated 🤯

Two fish species were tested in our experiments, the Atlantic cod and goldsinny wrasse. Both species inhabit large areas of the Atlantic. They are important for healthy marine ecosystems, fisheries, and aquaculture 🎣
