Fisk Lab

We have alewife in the lab at @FishOceansCAN Burlington. Took them ~ a week to get happy and eating. A big win in itself. Soon we’ll tag them with transmitters to assess survival, helping to guide future tracking of wild fish. Collab w @UWindsor @ONresources @LampreyControl

We're renaming our Slocum glider Daphnia to GOOT in honour of Dr. Chris Vandergoot, who we sadly lost last month. Chris was key in launching our glider program & advancing fish tracking. The SG GOOT is in Lake Ontario, searching for lost tags & testing new tech. We'll miss him 💙

Great to see our work on developing an early warning system for Union Water Supply on @CBCNews The National. We're using state-of-the-art equipment to address water quality challenges with @environmentca, and partner institutions. Check out the clip here: youtube.com/watch?app=desk…

Benjamin Hlina is a postdoc at @UWindsor. In this interview, we discuss lake trout ecology and habitat use in freshwater environments in Quebec and Ontario. Read more: oceantrackingnetwork.org/project/benjam…

Rounding out the morning are presentations on applications of telemetry in freshwater & estuaries from Jared Connoy @UBCOceans, Caytlyn McFadden at the Lower Fraser Fisheries Alliance, Benjamin Hlina at @UWindsor and Devon Smith at @UNBC. #2024OTNSymposium

Check out this video of a rainbow trout being released back into the Western basin of Lake Ontario after being tagged! Excited to track its journey!

The first slocum glider in @lakechamp is now exploring offshore reefs, collecting crucial water quality and hydroacoustic data. Huge thanks to the team @UVM_RSENR! Safe travels, MaryLou!

Fun day of filming with the CBC & ECCC on Lake Erie yesterday. Stay tuned for the story 👀 #GreatLakes

Official save the date card. Thanks to everyone who has spread the word so far 🐟

🐟Fish telemetry practitioners worldwide, please save the date for the 2025 International Conference on Fish Telemetry to be held in Traverse City Michigan, USA on June 8-13. A website and more details is forthcoming! Please retweet and share with your network.

Getting ready to deploy in Lake Michigan! This glider mission aims to detect larval fish using an AZFP at various nearshore locations. That @UMich M looks great against the yellow🤩. Big thanks to our partners @CIGLR_UM and @NOAA_GLERL for their support. Safe travels, #Marylou!

We're thrilled to support @ScienceUWindsor PhD student Nathan Drouillard in developing a new way to measure dissolved phosphorus in Lake Erie! This key nutrient is crucial for understanding harmful algal blooms. uwindsor.ca/dailynews/2024…

Just deployed! A new buoy in Lake Erie's central basin will help researchers model coastal erosion. Look out for UWRAEON1 on @RealGLOS #GreatLakes #portstanley

🚨My first, first-author paper @TheFSBI We validated the performance of @Innovasea miniaturized V3D predation-sensing transmitters. With @HeatherBReid @silviyaivanova @fisk_lab @SJC_fishy @graham_raby onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

TrackdAT has been updated with all papers published up to 2023!! ✅ Lots of amazing new research available to explore on trackdAT.org, with data from >2600 papers across 651 species globally 🐟🦈

We met with @RAEON_ in November - 7 months later - It's a buoy!!

Congrats to Dr. Cecilia Heuvel on your graduation! Wishing you all the best in all your future goals. 💛💙@fisk_lab #UWindsorGrad

Congrats Rylie!

Successful launch of the Mary Lou in Lake Ontario! Over the next 3 weeks, the Mary Lou will track tagged bloater and Lake trout (plus collect environmental variables) to help understand post-stocking movements. Thanks to @USFWS and @USGS for their efforts and support!
