Enjoyed giving a couple of seminars last month at UCONN Avery Point and UMASS Dartmouth. Three tales of bull trout, Arctic springs, and common terns.

Lucky to see some northern lights here in New Hampshire.

New paper @thefsbi.bsky.social Journal of Fish Biology finds inTŝilhqox Biny (Chilko Lake), bull trout binge feed in response to 2 resource pulses provided by sockeye salmon: spawned eggs in fall + juvenile smolts moving downstream in spring. Paper: doi.org/10.1111/jfb.... @unhresearch.bsky.social

Very proud of our group and the presentations we gave this past week at AIC chapter of @amfisheriessoc.bsky.social meeting in Quebec City. Lots of telemetry on species including river herring, rainbow smelt, Arctic char, and bull trout @unhresearch.bsky.social @oceantracking.bsky.social

Grateful for commercial diving services that retrieved this acoustic telemetry receiver for us that we have been trying to get back for the last 3 to 4 months. Quite the settlement plate it became over the last 15 months. Fingers crossed for good data!

New paper in Marine Ecology Progress Series! Former MS student Emily Burke tracked green crab movements at fine-scales in a Maine estuary using acoustic telemetry! www.int-res.com/abstracts/me... Funded by NOAA. DM me for PDF @unhresearch.bsky.social @oceantracking.bsky.social @innovasea.com

A green crab in a cage has an acoustic telemetry transmitter affixed to its back via external tag and duct tupe. A 20-mm scale bar is given for scale.

I swear I will post about science at some point but how can I not share Ziggy?

Sometimes, you need help stretching for your workout.

Haven't posted much. I usually post about fish, but also here is my boy Ziggy. He loves basking in the morning sun 🌞

Now that I have a bunch of new followers, reintroducing our latest paper using acoustic telemetry on Chesapeake Bay fishes and horseshoe crabs. Reply if you'd like PDF

Beautiful white tailed deer on our property in southern NH about a week ago.

As the leaves are starting to come down quickly, appreciating the hikes we've done the past couple of weeks.

I am hiring a postdoc to analyze passive acoustics data in coastal Gulf of Maine + collaborate with a broad team to link data to other estimates of marine biodiversity. Scholar would also work with PhD student quantifying Atlantic cod movements + diets. jobs.usnh.edu/postings/60061

Some Sunday night cuddles. Last week of the semester, here we come.

And a female deer with a couple of fawns was a regular (here is one of them).

Last Christmas my wife gave me a trail camera. I've loved seeing what comes by the back of the property over the year. Here are some highlights from the past couple of months. First, a black bear that came by on three separate occasions.

Hi folks! Trying this in addition to Twitter. My lab conducts research in fish (and crab and seabird) movements, feeding, bioenergetics, and spatial ecology. For more on our lab: fishmovementecolab.wixsite.com/fureyfmelab Please follow, or feel free to suggest accounts!
