Some of our group’s work from @SLUwildresearch on how pharmaceuticals can affect animal movement and behaviour presented at #SETAC2025 in Vienna today! Come down for a chat to find out more about this research in the poster session this afternoon! @DrBrodin @MichaelGBertram

Great to see our new paper on the impacts of water flow and crest shape on juvenile #eel movement on fish passes now out in the Journal of #Fish #Biology! #openaccess #science #freshwater @ZSLScience @EnvAgency @JackAndrewBrand @ChrisSergeant4 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jf…

Over the moon to finally share our new study in @ScienceMagazine led by the amazing @JackAndrewBrand! Pharmaceutical pollution at environmentally realistic levels alters behaviour and migration in Atlantic salmon, directly affecting survival 👉 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Great to see this piece in @nytimes covering our new article in @ScienceMagazine on the impacts of pharmaceutical pollution on salmon migration 👉nytimes.com/2025/04/10/cli… 👉science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… @JackAndrewBrand @SLUwildresearch

Over 400 juvenile #lampreys were #PIT tagged to unravel their oceanic life stage. Tagging campaigns in the #Mondego River conducted by DiadSea researchers from @cienciasulisboa and @UEvora continue, with the first results expected in Spring 2026! @AtlanticArea @MAREscience

Good to see this paper finally out: doi.org/10.1186/s40317… Great baseline data on depth use of migrating salmon smolts in fjords! Key takeaway: smolts predominately migrate in the top 3 meters of the water column throughout the fjord.

New from @sceneUofG - navigation in downstream migrating salmon smolts switches from rheotaxis in rivers to a random search tactic in lakes except where residual flow cues in some lakes prevent this, at times resulting in suboptimal navigation outcomes.  doi.org/10.1111/jfb.15…

High migration success of Atlantic salmon smolts in standing waters could be due to relative current speeds providing good quality directional cues to migrants. More from @JessicaRFordyce @C_Adams1758 @AngusJLothian @sceneUofG @UofGSBOHVM @Galloway_FT  doi.org/10.1111/eff.12…

Great to see this paper led by Ruaidhri Forrester come out - The effect of downstream translocation on Atlantic salmon smolt outmigration success. J. Fish Biology, 1–13. doi.org/10.1111/jfb.15… @sceneUofG @UofGSBOHVM @C_Adams1758 @JessicaRFordyce @hanhonkanen @JPeterKoene1

Does transporting salmon smolts past river migration bottlenecks enhance migration success? New paper @ProfColinBean @sceneUofG @Jessie__Lilly @hanhonkanen @JessicaRFordyce @JPeterKoene1

Experienced tech manager? Led a team? Researched using bio-logging tags? Interested in joining us as our new Group Lead or Telemetry Research Support Lead? If so, you still have until this Friday, 12th July, to apply. See: static1.squarespace.com/static/6232250… #engineeringjobs #marinecareers

When Illinois Waterway locks closed in 2020, a busy riverine shipping corridor ground to a halt. The river responded. The vessel traffic pause led to improved water quality and a redistribution of fishes. Read about it in our OA @STOTEN_journal article from @INHSillinois @USGS

Permanent post available in the renewables team. We are looking for a diadromous fish scientist. Great opportunity to develop in this exciting role with a focus on acoustic telemetry in the marine environment core-scottishgovernment.icims.com/jobs/9221/mari…

Looking for a new role? We are hiring a fish telemetry technician to come and work in the diadromous fish team. You will be managing the extensive suite of scout is receivers and will be spending plenty of time at sea on our research vessels! core-scottishgovernment.icims.com/jobs/9036/mari…

One of the largest spawning migrations of Zander in lake Vänern (Sweden’s largest lake) happens in the river Byälven. Where do they go? How long are they in the river? Trying to answer these questions and more for management with acoustic telemetry. @Lst_Varmland @OlleCalles
