IceFish Research

#fieldwork sometimes means collecting #acoustictelemetry receivers by #scubadiving and having surprise visitors. Like this male lumpfish! 🐟😍 Did you know that males protect egg nests of up to 140,000 eggs until they hatch?! #funfactfriday #IceFishResearch #ResearchLife #Iceland

IceFishResearch is following the current trend and is joining the other site 💙🐟 find us under icefishresearch.bsky.social

Congratulations @Sammi97L on successfully defending your PhD! Today we shine a spotlight on you. icefishresearch.com/2024/09/10/a-n… Find out more about Sammi. How her PhD was, what advice she has for future graduate students, and her plans for the future. 🐟🐟 #IceFishResearch #PhDone

A special thanks to Ragnhildur Guðmundsdóttir, Hannes Arason, and Helga Aradóttir from the Icelandic Museum of Natural History and Guðbjörg Ósk Jónsdóttir and Kenedy Williams from the @Haskoli_Islands

There were fishy crafts to be done, fish to fish, and things to learn about stickleback, fish bones and acoustic telemetry 🐟🐟

Thank you to everyone who attended our event at the Icelandic Museum of Natural History! We had a great afternoon. Last Sunday we organised the event “Fiskar og vísindi” where people could learn more about different 🐟 in Iceland and see what kind of research is done on fish.

Check out @liekeponsioen's PhD project (supervised by Kalina Kapralova & @geoviews) 60 Arctic charr have been tracked in Thingvallavatn to gain information about their whereabouts throughout the year. Find out more here: icefishresearch.com/2024/08/29/tra… Stay tuned! @fia_finn
