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 ❄️

Time for the 3️⃣rd downstream #salmon #migration in the #Bidasoa river 🇫🇷/🇪🇸 ! 🐟 After deploying our @innovasea.com #HR3 and tagging the pre-smolts, the season is well underway!

We recently completed a comprehensive #review on #AtlanticSalmon #stocking, approached from a #conservation perspective. The document explores comparative biology and in natura impacts, backed by extensive #references.

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 !

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

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 🐟
