Wow!
It has taken 45 authors, 1914 tagged fish, from 25 rivers in 8 projects to describe the coastal pathways taken by salmon smolts from Ireland, N. Ireland, W Scotland & England in this new paper. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… @JessicaRFordyce @Jessie__Lilly @AST_Salmon @ProfColinBean

Our new paper reveals how pink salmon home very precisely to the habitat where their parents spawned. Two separate spawning groups (freshwater and intertidal) revealed by genetic markers from over 30,000 individuals. @UAFcfos @PWSSC onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

When we identified all the threats to イトウ many years ago, we never considered wind power! I hope Japan can recognize the harm this wind farm could do to important habitat for these fish and everything else living in those forests! nies.go.jp/biology/pdfs/taim…

A lot of recent news about sightings of alien pink salmon in Europe. We've begun a new project here in its native range in Alaska (Prince William Sound), focusing on their early life history in the ocean.

Our OA paper on endangered Sakhalin taimen migration behavior published today in Ecology and Evolution! Males and females show distinctly different behavior, and PIT tags give us new insight into repeatability of migration. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

This is big!
We banned mine waste disposal in Alaska's Bristol Bay watershed – protecting fisheries Native People have relied on for millennia. Because of it, and tireless advocates, this priceless resource will be protected for future generations. It's impossible to put a price on that.

Several important events happening this week in Japan centered on a group of fishes found from the Danube River in Europe to streams in Hokkaido (Japan) and Sakhalin Island (Russia). Important outcome will be a reassessment of their risk of extinction for the IUCN Red List
