Fionn has certainly been a mighty addition to our project. First glider to detect tagged salmon smolts at sea in Europe and completed the longest glider mission at sea for Marine Institute this summer.

It's pretty rainy here too Dr. Alex McInturf but couldn't agree more 👍

New publication, now open access! The use of predator tags to explain reversal movement patterns in Atlantic salmon smolts (Salmo salar). Marine Institute SeaMonitor funded by Interreg. doi.org/10.1111/jfb.15…

It has taken 45 authors, 1914 tagged fish, from 25 rivers in 8 projects to describe the coastal pathways taken by salmon smolts from Ireland, N. Ireland, W Scotland & England in this new paper. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jf… Jessica Rodger Jessie Lilly Atlantic Salmon Trust Colin Bean

Confirming the rumours are true. Our gap year is over. "Europe's largest fish counter" is deployed. Tag way, all ye trackers! Detections will be shared. Courtesy of #STRAITS Loughs Agency Foyle Port and some of the hardest working SOs in the biz: Diego del Villar + Rachel Morgan 💪💪

A new study led by Prof. Nicholas Payne and Grace McNicholas (she/her) has found that giant Atlantic bluefin tuna are moving further north in response to marine heatwaves off the Irish coast. Read more about this important #TrinityResearch at: tcd.ie/news_events/ar…
