While we mainly work with fish, we occasionally get the opportunity to do some fun things with freshwater mussels including monitoring fish-mussel interactions and SAR relocations. Can't wait to do more! #WorldBivalveDay Ontario mussel ID gallery: biotactic.com/freshwater-mus…

Every fall Biotactic conducts redd counts in the Saugeen River and its tributaries to monitor #ChinookSalmon spawning. Upstream of the removed Truax Dam counts are performed with a drone. How many fish and redds do you count in this video? #fieldwork youtu.be/4_4ELODl9js
