Not a new sketch but new to #sundayfishsketch. Design idea for a future linocut print “Salmon death cycle”

Why am I so excited about COMPASS Pathfinders Program? It's based on Wilburforce Fellowship in Conservation Science. I was in 2015 cohort. It was extraordinary -- I still benefit from the targeted training, generous network, & powerful collaboration. Apply! www.compassscicomm.org/compass-path...

For reasons that don’t need elaboration, things have been unusually busy so if you’ve followed me recently and you’re a fisheries/climate impacts/aquatic biodiversity/etc acct and I haven’t followed back yet, thanks for your patience!

Introducing my first substack, Rising Rivers, where I explore the science and culture behind rivers and fisheries intended for non-academic audience. First article is "Abundant Rivers" with the thoughts on the role (and risks) of salmon hatcheries open.substack.com/pub/sethwhit...

Abundant Rivers

What role can hatcheries play in recovering harvestable salmon abundance while protecting wild populations?

Listening to this now! "Much of the world is hidden from us, that we don't perceive it and we don't understand it. And that it is worth understanding and it is necessary to understand."

I was always hoping there was a way to find the salmonid scientists on here easily. Now there is! Please comment to be added, it is (very) incomplete 🙏 #salmon #FishSci go.bsky.app/GSn7fKy

I'm forever a fan of getting a nature fix, but I reject for the sole purpose of being more productive "The boost to cognition lasted 30 minutes after leaving the natural setting, which may help you plan the best time for mentally demanding work." Thanks, but I'll keep that 30 min for myself

When baby salmon emerge from the gravel, how far do they disperse to summer rearing grounds? We haven't known until now (at least at the population scale), because they're too small to tag. In a paper just out, we answered this question using parentage-based (genetic) tagging! tinyurl.com/39b2sfjd

Background For many aquatic taxa, juvenile dispersal from spawning locations to rearing habitats is a critical process influencing individual fitness and population dynamics. However, our understandin...

I don't know who needs to hear this today, but our lab's new website comes equipped with a "Carc Gallery" (a collection of photos of salmon carcasses that died of natural causes, after spawning). www.fishbehaviorscapeslab.com/carc-gallery

One day after the White House environmental justice website went dark, please join me in welcoming the father of environmental justice to Bluesky. Yes, sociologist @drrobertbullard.bsky.social literally defined the concept in his 1990 book, Dumping in Dixie: Race, Class and Environmental Quality.

Not-so-humblebragging about tonight’s dinner. Required coordinating use of the same Dutch oven for the sourdough loaf and rice/beans/kale dish. Rotisserie chicken brined in buttermilk & spices, yum!

Hi new and old followers! Looking for examples using stream-side and instream incubators (“hatchboxes”) for releasing unfed salmonid fry to enhance harvest, supplement natural runs, or restore extirpated populations. Any leads appreciated, please repost to spread the word!

Just returned from issesr7.ifop.cl in Puerto Varas, Chile with @fisheriesprof.bsky.social & others. New insights on aquaculture-assisted fisheries, new birds on my list, new connections, rekindling old ones, and curanto, the traditional sea/land-food dish of Isla de Chiloe. ¡Fantástico!

A potential collaborator wrote me asking for a review of their perspective article and ended their request with "I'm worried that I missed something that everyone knows" That's how I knew they were serious about the science

I'm still very new here: Is there something like a fish ecology, fisheries science, or aquatic sciences feed? If so how do I find & sign up for it? Personally, less emphasis on marine science unless it involves anadromy/catadromy (includes a freshwater phase) Thanks!
