Interested in how #RiverLamprey move upstream and approach barriers in rivers. Check out this paper to find out more: sciencedirect.com/science/ar… Collaborators: @UoS_ICER @hrwallingford @DurUni_Aqua_Lab

Researchers @DrJimKerr @DrAVowles @Paul_Kemp_Fish at the @UoS_ICER built on previous work to develop a rapid barrier assessment tool to map the impact of barriers on river networks throughout Europe, as part of the @AMBERtools project. Read more here: bit.ly/38lwoq9

Great example of low-cost fish passes being installed that have either been developed or tested at @UoS_ICER. @DrAVowles @Paul_Kemp_Fish Also, the CBC array pictured below won't aid the spread of Signal crayfish (a harmful non-native species): doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.20…

Really excited to share my latest paper on selective fish passage. Research assessed whether two low cost fish passage solutions also aid the passage the non-native American signal crayfish. authors.elsevier.com/a/1c3r0… @DrAVowles @Paul_Kemp_Fish @UoS_ICER @Maddie31478503

Check out the latest breaking news from the AMBER project that it has been great to be a part of for he last four years. Also join the webinar which is going in right now!! @AMBERtools

BREAKING: Over 1 MILLION barriers fragment Europe's rivers! This scale of river fragmentation is alarming, making Europe the most obstructed river landscape in the world. Read this thread to learn more or check out the map for yourself #amberfithydro2020 bit.ly/2Nvp2X2

A major part of our project was to develop new tools to maximize river connectivity by managing barrier adaptively! Tune in now to #amberfithydro2020 to learn more about these tools!

Great work on the River Lambourn at Shaw, Newbury to remove the gauging station and allow fish passage today. Good news for fish populations and habitat of R. Lambourn. A new ultrasonic gauge will measure river levels. Funded by @EnvAgencySE. Work by @landwatergroup.

Want to learn more about the tool we developed @UoS_ICER for assessing fish passage at barriers. Check out this tweet: @unisouthampton @AMBERtools #ICEprotocol 🐟🐟🐟

1M barriers block Europe's rivers! To manage them we need to know which ones cause the most problems and which can be adapted. 1 negative impact of barriers is that they can impede🐟migration. Learn about our tool that evaluates whether🐟can effectively pass a barrier. 👇👇

The fish pass extension at Trews weir on the River Exe has been installed and it's looking good! #fishmig #fish #fishpass

Fantastic engineering. Great to see!
Good news fishies 🐟🐟🐟 - we've temporarily extended the fish pass at Trews Weir in Exeter by 7m so you can get up the River Exe. It sounds like a simple job but it required a lot of work. Find out why: gov.uk/government/news/exete…

Still in the field doing passability assessments on barriers with @DrAVowles!! Another good day. Some of these will be a real problem for #fishpassage. Also nice to see some great fish friendly modifications to existing barriers!! @UoS_ICER @AMBERtools

We have finished the fieldwork!! It was a busy week but we had a nice relaxing swim to celebrate. Despite this being the largest weir we surveyed it was one of the easiest! #fishpassage #drysuitworks @UoS_ICER @AMBERtools @DrAVowles

Birds are probably the most over hyped vert-group. Fishes have been seamlessly coordinating their movements in large groups for at least 100 million years before the first proto-bird crash landed in a tree canopy presumably smashing its collar bone #BirdsvsFish
