Great to see two more papers from postdoc work with @ZoologyUBC funded by the British Columbia Salmon Restoration and Innovation Fund published over the last few weeks! #fishsci #aquaculture #atlanticsalmon #smoltification

In my degree I remember being inspired by projects funded by @saveourseas so its a mini full-circle moment to see myself listed as a project leader (complete with sketch portrait) for them this year! Read about our project here: tinyurl.com/45fj3yj8 @ZSLScience @ProjectSIARC

🦈 Tope Tracking Update! 2 female tope sharks, tagged in Cardigan Bay this summer, have been detected 100+ miles away in the Bristol Channel! Thanks to @SwanseaUni for alerting us to the detections, helping to learn more about tope movements around the UK coastline.

Fascinating to join a #CSIoftheSea with CSIPs @strandings_man last week on two Angelsharks that were found on a North Wales beach in 2023. Samples from the sharks will provide vital health, diet + genetic data from the Welsh population @ProjectSIARC @angelshark2014 @ZSLMarine

After a few weeks off, I've returned to the news that 2 of our #tope have been recorded in South Wales/England! Fantastic to get 1st detections and insight into connectivity between MPA's in Wales + England. Where will our sharks go next? #NNF3 #fishsci @ProjectSIARC @ZSLMarine

Slowly working towards my @_BTO ringing permit in my spare time. Much more arduous task than my Home Office licence for fish tagging! Thrilled to have rung my first kingfisher a few weeks ago, though. What a beauty #birds #ringing #kingfisher

Please share - PhD with me, @BAS colleagues and @LaurenNadler @unisouthampton - Fish metabolism across latitudes - lovely team, cool science and great fish! Please contact me, details: tinyurl.com/mhfp8f2h

Come work at ZSL with Project SIARC and the Angel Shark Project Network! careers.zsl.org/vacancies/336/…

Thanks to great co-authors for help on these two papers and support from industrial partners @MowiCanadaWest

We did not find impacts of 'winter' temperature on smolt quality but did see beneficial impacts of short daylengths on osmoregulation and growth and feeding which was associated with modified metabolism of smolts. Read more here: doi.org/10.1016/j.aqua… @AAC_Association

After a frustrating August where fieldwork was cancelled by the brilliant UK weather it was great to get back out and tag 4 more immature female tope in @ACA_PLAS_SAC! Thanks to our skipper Tony and 3 local fishers for their help! @ZSLMarine @OceanPredatorLb @ProjectSIARC

@AMDichiera Go Ben! Paper looks great 🤓
