We've finished our project on #ThermalRefuges for Atlantic #salmon in the #Allier river in France. 🐟 #salmon body temperature depend on water temperature. 🔥When water temp increases, one of the first response is #behavioural #thermoregulation with individuals going to #thermal #refuges ❄️

When you’re really happy to receive a new book! #bayesian #havefunwithstats #whereismyfishintheriver 👋 @oaggimenez.bsky.social

After years of non-stop brainstorming and hard work with @alamarins.bsky.social & co, we're thrilled to present IBASAM (v3): a spatially explicit demo-genetic individual-based model for anadromous salmonids (meta)populations. @inrhttps://ibe.pensoft.net/articles.php?id=153305

The joys of fieldwork in summer: cooling your feet in the water while searching for #thermal refuges for #salmonids 🐟! Last week, we were on a data collection campaign on the Nivelle River (64, France) to create a thermal map and search for thermal refuges by using airborne thermal infrared #IRTa !

For those who are interested in #salmon & #FishSci =) 🐟 A big thanks to @jmprok.bsky.social 👍

Time to deploy our #acoustic receivers HR3 from @innovasea.com in the Bidasoa before the downstream migration of #salmon for the Life project Kantauribai ! 💪🙏🙈🐟🇪🇺

We just need some visibility for this☺️ Ping @jpverta.bsky.social @fishcongen.bsky.social @alamarins.bsky.social @fishbouchard.bsky.social @evathorstad.bsky.social

[OPEN SCIENCE] 💡2 days ago, I had the opportunity to give a talk at the Festi'Val d'Azun, which offers conferences that promote #OpenScience. 🔍 1 day was dedicated to ‘#Water & the #Pyrenees’, during which I was able to give a talk on the conservation issues surrounding #Atlantic #Salmon 🐟 .

💼 Projet Life KANTAURIBAI Proyecto Life Kantauribai 🇪🇸 🇫🇷 🇪🇺 End of the first migration season The 1st migration season ended about a month ago, SCIMABIO Interface went to retrieve all the acoustic receivers with all the data (phew!) Before the results from a Bayesian model, some figures!

Understanding the impact of anthropogenic activities on biodiversity and wildlife is one of the most important questions today. This is notably one of the targeted questions addressed by the European project #LIFEprogramme #Kantauribai. #RFID #Acoustic #BayesianModel #trackingnotslacking

First release of future #salmon #smolts tagged with PIT tags for the Life #KANTAURIBAI - first big step before modelling their next downstream #migration and the #probability to enter hydropower plant canals. Check the project summary here: tinyurl.com/LifeKantauri... #SCIMABIO-Interface #GAN-NIK

What a pleasure it was to be invited to give a seminar at the Tour du Valat to talk about the demography and migratory behavior of European glass eels. Always a pleasure to go there :) The Camargue, an ecosystem definitely very interesting to study the movement and colonization by eels! 🐟

We used scale isotopes to understand trophic ecology of Atlantic salmon during first year at sea. Isotopes can also reflect migration routes, and it looked like routes of first-time migrants resembled those of older, previous spawners satellite tagged in earlier studies dx.doi.org/10.1002/ece3...

Hey #Acoustic and #freshwater #fish #telemetry community, I need your help ! =) Is it possible / OK to attach an acoustic receiver to a metal base rather than a concrete one ? It's for a monitoring in a river. Thanks for your feedbacks :) #trackingnotslacking 🐟
