We study the ecology of key marine forage fish, and how dynamics influence the foraging ecology of fish, seabirds & whales.

As we enter the last month of 2018, our team is already eager to start a new field season in beautiful #Newfoundland! Here is one of our highlights for summer 2018 with over a 100 humpback whales and thousands of seabirds feeding on capelin near our study sites off the NE coast!

If you see capelin rolling, don’t forget to submit the observation to ecapelin.ca & post on social media using #capelinroll2024. To submit, you will need a photo, location, date/time, & comments. These observations support long-term research on this critical species!

Capelin season is coming! Make sure to keep an eye out for signs they have visited a beach near you in #Newfoundland including rolling fish, dead capelin & eggs. Report any observations to ecapelin.ca or post to social media using #ecapelin and #CapelinRoll2024

Another great day on the water in Fortune Bay! Ended with an amazing meal of lobster 🦞. Who knew habitat mapping could be so much fun?? #Newfoundland #scienceresearch

📢 July 1st, 2023: The #capelin have rolled in St. Vincent's! Good for frying, drying, or fertilizing your veggies, these wee fish are the main reason that the whales come so close to the shore. It should be a great #CanadaDay in St. Vincent's! #IrishLoop #Newfoundland #Labrador

Have you ever wondered how seals sleep at sea? The last chapter of my dissertation, now published in Science, illustrates the intricate sleep-spiraling behavior of northern elephant seals. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Check out our cool new paper! We collaborated with @FFAW_Unifor and local capelin fishers to improve understanding of capelin subtidal spawning! doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2022.1… @DavorenLab @umanitoba

So grateful we were able to attend the @ICES_ASC @CSB_2022 @Havforskningen! Thanks so much to all the organizers and for the early career researcher funding for our two Ph.D. students @ashleymtripp and @LauraBlissEco. We loved our time and learned so much, let's do it more often!

A truly special and emotional moment at the Capelin Symposium 2022 (@CSB_2022). A celebration of the amazing contributions of Harald Gjøsæter to capelin research, and mentoring of literally generations of capelin scientists. A true giant of capelin science. #Capelin2022
A BIG thank you to all the wonderful participants who filled the week with exciting science and were incredibly attentive, inquisitive and supportive as an audience throughout the symposium! #Capelin2022 🐟💙

How does the Newfoundland capelin fishery measure up to a sustainable fishery framework? What can we improve? Great info from Chelsea Boaler @CSB_2022
