Fish guts are full of microscopic critters that play an important role in #fishhealth. Some of these #microbes might even provide positive health implications for humans! Check out this week’s Fish Report to learn more: bit.ly/fish-gut-micro…

Some of the CA #salmonid's biggest challenges are habitat loss, drought, and #climatechange. In this week's Fish Report, learn how #conservationhatcheries have aided in salmon and steelhead recovery, yet also led to diversity loss in hatchery-raised fish: bit.ly/hatchery-steel…

Monitoring #recreationalfisheries is a big job, but one of the best ways to get the “creel deal” on #sportfish populations is to talk to anglers themselves! Read today’s Fish Report to learn more about #creelsurveys: bit.ly/creel-surveys

There are 1,000+ species of fish living in the #MekongRiver, but how many of them can you name? A new report from @WWFMekong does a deep dive on the Mekong’s Forgotten Fishes and proposes a plan to save this valuable biodiversity: bit.ly/WWF-mekong

In this week’s Fish Report, ponder the climatic conditions that #Pacificsalmonids have survived from the #Pliocene era to present day, and how today’s changing climate could affect the future of #freshwaterfisheries. Click here to read the full article! bit.ly/fisheries-vs-c…

In a new paper published in the Cambodian Journal of Natural History, FISHBIO and partners present the findings of an #environmentalDNA sampling pilot study measuring fish diversity in the Cambodian #MekongRiver. Read this week’s Fish Report to learn more! bit.ly/mekong-edna

Learning what’s on the menu for non-native predators is critical for conserving native fish that they may prey upon, including young Chinook. In this week's Fish Report, discover the findings of a multi-year predator diets study in Stanislaus River: bit.ly/stanislaus-die…

One of the most valuable resources informing #fisheriesmanagement strategies can be insight from fishers themselves. This week's Fish Report explores the nuances of fisheries conservation on the #MekongRiver through a local fisher's perspective: bit.ly/conservation-v…

New fish passage barrier removal efforts on #BigChicoCreek stand to make waves for native fish conservation. Learn more about it in this week’s Fish Report: bit.ly/big-chico-fish…

Commercial fishing, timber and farming practices surged in California in the 1800's, putting pressure on sensitive #anadromousfish and their ecosystems. Learn how #cohosalmon have coped in our latest post celebrating the 50th anniversary of the #ESA: bit.ly/cohocrisis

Green and white #sturgeon in California may be close relatives, but they exhibit some interesting differences in life cycle and diet. Find out more in this week’s Fish Report: bit.ly/sturgeon_diet_…

While #steelhead are renowned for their ability to persist in environments where other salmonids could never survive, many populations are still in decline. Read our latest blog entry celebrating the 50th anniversary of the #ESA to learn more: bit.ly/central_valley…

In this week’s #FishReport, learn about the #tidewatergoby, a California native that has been listed as Endangered under the #EndangeredSpeciesAct since 1994: bit.ly/endangeredtide…

Fifty years ago in December of 1973 the US #EndangeredSpeciesAct was signed into law! Join us this month as we celebrate the ESA’s successes for fish conservation, and examine the challenges that threatened and endangered species still face. Read on at bit.ly/TheESATurns50

Wastewater management is among the dirtier jobs out there, but it’s also one of the most important - especially with growing populations and increasing impacts of climate change. Read this week’s Fish Report to learn how California handles its waste: bit.ly/treating-waste…

DYK that #mussels play a unique role in the world of fisheries? In this week’s Fish Report, learn about the nuances of this important #bioindicator creature and how some interact with native fish: bit.ly/musselreproduc…

💧Around one-third of threatened and #endangeredspecies rely on #wetlands for survival— which is one of many reasons scientists are collaborating on the best ways to bring back lost wetlands. In this week’s Fish Report, learn about #wetlandrestoration: bit.ly/wetlandscience

🔎 The game is afoot! Specific High-sensitivity Enzymatic Reporter UnLOCKing – also known as #SHERLOCK – is an exciting tool that allows fisheries scientists to bring the power of a genetics lab into the field. Read this week’s Fish Report to learn more: bit.ly/SHERLOCK_for_C…
