Picture of thesis. Entitled anadromy in fragmented rivers: downstream passage challenges for migrating salmonids.
Excited to share my thesis is officially nailed! Big thanks to @jacsciart.bsky.social for the amazing cover artwork! If you’d like to join the defense in person or online February 20th, feel free to send me a PM.

At work, we often anaesthetise, perform surgery on, and tag juvenile fish. We wanted to find out if these procedures impact their oxygen consumption in the following days. Good news, we didn't find cause for concern! 🙂

Are you interested in habitat restoration for #diadromous fishes? Abstract submission is now open for the Symposium on Restoration, sponsored by us, taking place in Oulu, Northern Finland! Abstract and applications for #ECR travel grants are open until 15 Feb: bit.ly/3Lx5Jyg #FishSci
Something that I think doesn’t get examined enough is the tendency for technological creep to lead to a reductionist view of ecology where emergent forms and patterns are increasingly reduced to physics and de-contextualized, generalizable theories

#FSBI2026 Breaking Siloes in Fish Biology, convened by Uni of Southampton, aims to bring together scientists from a range of disciplines to explore ways of integrating our research and strengthening relationships with stakeholders and policymakers. Abstract deadline 2/2/26 (17:00): bit.ly/4btHYl1
Why don't we use behavioural ecotoxicological studies in environmental management? Michael Bertram & colleagues assess whether behavioral measures are relevant at the population level. They conclude that, yes, they are and they are underutilised. doi.org/10.1021/acs....

"Rivers are messy: Beyond the water bias in research and management" — A new article co-authored by @brdemuth.bsky.social combines historical and natural science ways of thinking about rivers to argue for the importance of understanding them as more than simply channels of water.
✨ STUDY HALL TAKEOVER! ✨
Tomorrow, James Campbell will join us to talk about current positioning methods, state of animal movement models and how the Kaltoa package fits into it. oceantrackingnetwork.org/study-hall/
That's me 👇! I'll be giving a quick overview of my #acoustictelemetry positioning and clock synchronization toolset this thursday at the OTN study hall.
New paper out 🐟📏📉📈!
We explored 50 years of data from 14 Atlantic salmon populations across Eastern Canada to see how body size, age, and life-history diversity have been changing.
