Adam and our intern Ellie will be presenting some research they undertook on eel pass substrates at 15:45 today at the EA Annual Fisheries Seminar in Solihull. We hope to see some of our EA friends there! @EnvAgency

Thank you to @NewquayActivity for providing us with a great experience. Fun packed afternoons, volley ball, tug of war & hoola hoop shenanigans. A few brave adventurers cliff jumping under supervision of course & there may have been a bit of dunking and capsizing along the way

Team fun & games retreat 2024😆 3 days of beach games & giant SUP in beautiful Newquay. Perfect weather & the team had a great time getting to know our new team members & relaxing round the BBQ. A big thank you to @Fishtek for providing us all with a great experience. 🌊🌊🌞

@IFMFish @IanWellby @Hyosube That Ian, is almost certainly a fish. And a small one at that.

@IanWellby @FishtekConsult @Hyosube I won’t spoil the fun by telling you what it is 🧐

Fishtek’s fisheries team undertook the IFM's fish ID course yesterday as a refresher to get our eye in for the coming season of fish surveys. This was a fantastic and very interesting course, with a few surprise fish thrown in to keep us on our toes!

Happy #InternationalWomensDay ! We are proud to have such fantastic&talented women within our team at Fishtek whose important contributions and voices make a difference to our work every day. By inspiring the inclusion of women, we can create a better world. #InspireInclusion

It’s #InternationalGeomorphologyWeek! If you have a project which needs geomorphology expertise, get in touch! From river restoration and natural flood management to weir removals and dedicated geomorphology assessments, our team can help! #geomorphologyweek #riverrestoration

We're using 3d printing to optimise our eel pass latch system which allows for anti-predation covers to be lifted from the bankside for routine inspection. H&S is at the forefront of our design process & we strive to design & fabricate long lasting & maintainable fish&eel passes

@chris_fish_bio @nature_scot @ProfColinBean @C_Adams1758 @eric_verspoor Magnificent!!!

Really excited to have captured footage of rare Scottish river spawning Arctic charr today. The ‘unicorn shot’, because I thought I had as much chance of capturing footage of spawning charr as I did a unicorn 😂👍 @nature_scot @ProfColinBean @C_Adams1758 @eric_verspoor

This week, some of our Fisheries team went to Crowdy where @SouthWestWater have commissioned @FishtekConsult to undertake removal of ruffe that may be present in the stilling basin and connecting river at Crowdy Reservoir.

Salmon and eels face numerous challenges in their journey upstream that impede their progress. Our team here at Fishtek provide innovative solutions in the form of salmon and eel passes, designed to help these iconic species overcome these obstacles. fishtek.co.uk/services/eel-p…

A fantastic collaborative effort involving the @EnvAgency @YorkshireWater @thedontrust @DonCatchmentRT @FishtekConsult & @CRCivils . Removing the flow impoundment has already resulted in the quick restoration of habitats such as riffles. One less barrier on the River Don!

Exciting news for the River Don! Stocksbridge Weir has been partially removed, allowing for the upstream passage of Atlantic salmon and other migratory fish. #RiverRestoration #Collaboration #EnvironmentalSuccess

Big congratulations to our 2023 Pumpkin Champion, Chris, weighing in at 22.6 kilos!🏆🎉 🏆🎃

🎃 Fishtek Annual Pumpkin Competition! Our talented team showed off their pumpkin-growing skills, grown from the seeds of last years winner! 🌱👏 #OfficeFun #PumpkinCompetition #HalloweenSpirit #Teamwork #OfficeCulture 🍁👻

A glorious September day to head ‘down west’ to visit St Erth Gauging Station on the River Hayle @FishtekConsult have placed a fish pass on the weir. This means the gauge can go on recording important flow data with improved fish porosity. A good balance struck! @HydrometryEA

@Lozza_05556 Agree entirely! When they work they are fantastic.

@FishtekConsult More of these please. It looks great.

Some of the team are out and about in the South-East this week and took the opportunity to revisit a natural bypass / brush fish pass we designed a few years ago. It’s ‘bedded in’ now and is looking great!
