Now it's time to clean up all our equipment for next year — and then the fun part: #Bayesian analysis 💻 of all our detections! =) Always a pleasure to be back in the field with @matbuoro.bsky.social , this time on a bigger boat 🚤. And thanks for the 📸

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 !

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

[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! 🐟

At SCIMABIO-Interface we design & install #RFID antennas, perform & are involved in projects to monitor #FishBehaviour & #Movements with PIT-tags or acoustic tags, use our knowledge in #DataAnalysis to facilitate the percolation of scientific knowledge towards fish managers.

Since September, I've embarked on a permanent position at SCIMABIO-Interface. Excited to apply #PopulationDynamics #BehaviouralEcology & #BayesianStatistics to engage w. managers & stakeholders. Science-Policy Interface is essential for effective #Fish #Conservation! 🐟 www.scimabio-interface.fr
