New paper 🚨 Retrofitting Fosstveit hydropower station with an inclined rack + surface bypass increased survival of downstream-migrating European eels from ~50–70% to 100% reaching the river mouth. Promising solution for this critically endangered species. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

Amazing Friday out on the fjord - 8 Atlantic cod tagged! 🐟☀️ With sediment dumping and hydropower changes planned in the area, we’re collecting crucial before data to see how cod behaviour and habitat use shift as the fjord environment changes.

We've been out popping up acoustic release receivers for fine-scale positioning of thornback rays in our beautiful fjords. Several million detections to work with over the past year! Read more here: www.bergentelemetry.com/post/a-year-... #trackingnotslacking #NFR_LOST #NFR_NorTrack #NFR_DTOTrack

PhD candidate Jessica Robichaud at Cooke lab at @carleton.ca is visiting us for a month to help with field work. Today, she presented her work for our lab. She is using acoustic telemetry to track permit in the Florida keys! So interesting to see some of her findings! 🐟 @sjcfishy.bsky.social

After the workshop, Saron and Erlend also joined fieldwork with the Lennox lab at Dalhousie University, including tracking work with turtles, mackerel, and smolts. Read more about their stay here: www.bergentelemetry.com/post/visitin...

Before summer, PhD students Saron Berhe & Erlend M Hanssen joined the 20th anniversary NoWPaS workshop in Halifax. Five days of talks, networking & exploring Halifax with early-career salmonid researchers from around the world. They also both presented their PhD projects🐟🦦 @nowpas.bsky.social

We are now starting the second part of the #NFR_HITLICE project on Senja, Northern Norway, where we infect migrating salmon smolts with salmon lice and tag them with acoustic transmitters with predation sensors to investigate the vulnerability to predation 🐟

We've installed a PIT antenna in Nidelva to track returning Atlantic salmon smolts tagged last year through our #NFR_HITLice project. Smolts were infested with sea lice before release. Low discharge makes drilling the antenna to the riverbed easier, still a river with 3–4°C makes it quite tough!

Beautiful day in field earlier this week deploying receivers in the fjords around Bergen city☀️ These will track some fascinating species that we’re going to tag through some new projects starting this year 🌊🦈🐠 #TrackingNotSlacking @oceantracking.bsky.social @aquatictracking.bsky.social

New paper out from our #NFR_PACE project! We combined acoustic telemetry with gill biopsies to investigate the activity of anadromous brown trout during their spawning migration in three rivers in Norway. You can find the paper here: doi.org/10.1111/jfd.... #Telemetry #Pathogens #SalmoTrutta

We spent the last field days in December retrieving receivers for our eel project in Storelva in southern Norway. All found, none lost! Looking forward to starting 2025 digging into the data✨ @tormodharaldstad.bsky.social @kurtjoh.bsky.social

Manuscripts drafted and written, revisions done, application sent in, and we even had a GAM crash course - safe to say we can call the third year of writing retreat a success! ❄️

Bergen Telemetry Network @bergentelemetry.bsky.social · 27/11/2024

On the third evening of our writing retreat, we all joined in on starting a new manuscript for the #NFR_LOST project 🦈 Within a few hours we’d sketched out a good first draft. Very motivating to work on the same manuscript simultaneously!
