October 30th is the International ghost shark day! The BTN team hope to add chimaera monstrosa to our research in the near future to gain insight into their behaviour & movement!
(This one was caught while repeating a scientific longline survey done in the 80s & 90s)

Check out what ETN members @lottepohl @DavidCBlanch & @lottesdahlmo are up to with the @EMFish2024 project! How do elasmobranchs respond to electromagnetic fields from offshore windfarms? They aim to find out 🦈

Saron and Lotte tagged 21 Atlantic cod last week in Svalbard! Now we just have to wait some months before we have more data on cod up in the high Arctic

Wow - so happy I got to visit Svalbard last week. Fascinating and beautiful place in the Arctic!

Phd candidates @SaronBerhe1 & @lottesdahlmo are guest lecturers this week for bachelor students at Svalbard, with telemetry as subject. If weather allows for it, they will go out and hopefully capture and tag Atlantic cod the next few days 🐟

Another thornback ray tagged and we are up to 19 tagged over the last two weeks. Lots of rain these past days but soon back again fishing for more!

And we have finally started tagging thornback rays! As a part of the #NFR_LOST project, we’re studying the effect of oxygen on their behaviour and movement 🦈 Just have to wait for some months before collecting data

Last summer, @morganpiczak visited us in Norway that included working on the #BOATS project, entailing tracking different species like cod & European lobster in relation to seabed restoration. Curious about telemetry & restoration efficacy? Read more here: link.springer.com/article/10…

NEW paper from my research visit last summer to @NORCEresearch! Here we showcase how telemetry can be used to assess the efficacy of ecological restoration of fish habitat with case studies from Toronto and Bergen! Check it out here: doi.org/10.1007/s11252-024-0…

Today’s the UN World Environment Day. Our LFI lab at @NORCEresearch works a lot with restoration of fish habitats, and with telemetry we can help conserve and protect valuable species and habitats for healthy environments - also in the future🌱🌊🪸

As a part of the #NFR_LOST project, we’re repeating a historic longline survey conducted in the Osterfjord fjord system to see how the bentic fish community has changed over time. One of the species caught was the spiny dogfish, the primary species being tracked in this project!

Today is World @fishmigration Day!
In their perspective, @FisheriesRobert @OceanTracking et al. review the ways #telemetry can help understand the effects of extreme weather events on aquatic animals, including migration and distribution ow.ly/rbBq50RzMzn
