This acoustic receiver mooring was in #LakeStClair for one year. Unbelievable Zebra and Quagga mussel growth has covered nearly every square inch of the float and receiver. #GreatLakes #GLATOS

Today, a sea lamprey control treatment starts on the Black River. 170,000 larvae in the system threaten Lake Ontario's fish. The river will look yellow during the 14-hour treatment, but recreation is safe. More info: glfc.org/pubs/factsheets/FAC… #greatlakes #invasivespecies

The first slocum glider in @lakechamp is now exploring offshore reefs, collecting crucial water quality and hydroacoustic data. Huge thanks to the team @UVM_RSENR! Safe travels, MaryLou!

Out now in @ScienceMagazine led by @SimonDedman @jhmoxley @MikeHeithaus @Dr_Yannis - Shark conservation must prioritize the ecological roles of sharks, which are diverse across species and systems globally. Thrilled to be part of a great team on this work! tinyurl.com/ysfkta2f

Interested in fish ecology and trophic ecology? We are looking for a PhD student who wants to do their PhD at Purdue who could start in January! Come work with me and @HookLab on some Great Lakes science.

New pub! 🚨 We measured specific dynamic action and aerobic scope in adult walleye across a range of temperatures. Sex, body mass, and ration size had notable effects on the metabolic response to feeding. Some details below. doi.org/10.1242/jeb.247207

White suckers may be finally getting the attention they deserve for their role in the Great Lakes' food web. @KarenJMurchie and @SheddResearch are working to “shedd” light on this species and their habitat use with acoustic telemetry.

Behind every successful field project lies a series of challenges and adjustments. Here's a glimpse behind the scenes as we troubleshoot our buoy. It wasn't smooth sailing, but with perseverance, we got it back up and running, sending valuable data once again!

Thank you to the wonderful team at the Shedd Aquarium for allowing us to highlight the FishPass project and the GLATOS program as part of World Fish Migration Day last weekend. Learn more at glfc.org/fishpass.php and glatos.glos.us/ #GreatLakesSci
Thanks to @GLATOS_Fish & @LampreyControl's FishPass project for joining us @shedd_aquarium to celebrate World Fish Migration Day ! It was fun to highlight the efforts to understand fish migrations at home in the Great Lakes and worldwide.
