A sneak peek into the tagging process for my PhD project using this recent, record-sized muskie!
For this fish, I used a V16AT accelerometer tag which features a temperature sensor from @Innovasea 🐟💨🌡️
Thanks to @BowmanJacob_ for capturing this time-lapse!

Make sure to recruit grad students like @ErinRitchiee who, after graduating and moving away, bring beer when they come to visit. 😍

Merry Christmas from your friendly neighbourhood fish biology lab.

Two years ago, @ErinRitchiee rocked up to Trent to start her MSc with @sci_angler and me. Yesterday, Erin defended her MSc. Extensive experiments calibrating accelerometer tag output against swimming speed and oxygen consumption across temps in walleye. Congrats Erin!

Thanks @TriciaMason_ for having @amberlfedus and me on!
This morning we learned about an interesting study out of Trent University. A group of researchers are tagging and tracking fish in Stoney Lake to learn what exactly happens underwater...the project is set to last for a few years. @CHEXNewswatch @GlobalPtbo

Our 1st (hopefully annual) lab writing(+reading/analysis) retreat on Lake Kushog going well this week. As you can here, we are fun and happy people. Sadly missing out this week are @ErinRitchiee and @HeatherBReid.

This week (during the local heatwave), I assisted @amberlfedus in tagging walley, perch, smallmouth bass and black crappie with @Innovasea tags for acceleration and movement tracking. Below are images/clips of incision sutures, set up and fin clippings for stable isotope sampling

First time electrofishing via boat, done with @FishOceansCAN on Stoney Lake 🐟
Catching target species to tag with @Innovasea to collect data on acceleration and movement for @amberlfedus’s PhD project ! Thank you for the opportunity 🎣

PhD student @HeatherBReid putting an @Innovasea V7 transmitter into a black crappie for @amberlfedus's fish tracking project on Stoney Lake with help from UG students @BowmanJacob_ and Sam Chasse. Tags purchased with generous donations from lake residents.

Humbling and exciting to see all this scribbled onto a whiteboard by @erinmcstewart at our lab meeting today, mapping out what's going to be a crazy few months of data collection for our team, with the help of many collaborators. A few details to iron out but we're getting there.
I enjoyed presenting some of my MSc work about the effects of macrophyte cutting on fish populations @scas_scsa yesterday! Thank you to everyone who stuck around to listen. #SCAS_SCSA2023

Just completed the 5h drive home from Montreal and the first @scas_scsa meeting. Obligatory lab photo with my wonderful students who did such a great job representing @TrentUniversity and themselves. Thanks again to all the folks who put the meeting together.

Thanks to all the @TrentUniversity students for stopping by the @cdnsciencepub booth—including new @scas_scsa student rep @erinmcstewart! Learn more about all their research on thermal tolerance and fish movement at rabylab.com/people

Interested in walleye bio-loggers, or brook trout embryo survival & thermal tolerance ? Are you concerned with how the loss of vegetation is impacting fish species, or maybe interested in how O2 supersaturation impacts thermal tolerance ? Check out some amazing talks @scas_scsa
