Putting radio tags in those suckers was my entry into freshwater science! (Almost exactly 25 yrs ago.) We caught them by swimming over them and scooping them with a salmon dip net. Some migrated as far as from Troy, OR to Lewiston, ID

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!

It is, thanks, those are good examples. And so many other things too, programs, safety networks, whole frigging systems that were not 100% efficient (nothing is) but worked more or less to provide for folks in so many ways

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?

@lizneeley.bsky.social I quoted your post but just now realized I called out the same quote as you - I jotted it down while listening to the interview! Fantastic interview, kudos to Ed, and looking forward to upcoming book

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...
