Got to see one of my favorite river systems (Vosso) up close again this week. In Bergen Telemetry Network, we always wait as long as we can to retrieve receivers. I might have stretched it a tiny bit far this time, but waiting longer just means more DATA!! #AnimalTracking #NFR_LaKES

We’re hiring a Database Developer! The DD will play a lead role in expanding the OTN data system to accept satellite telemetry data, and create & maintain data structure & data ingestion processes purpose-built for satellite data. Closes: Jan. 12, 2024. bit.ly/3RNYmCZ

Christmas vibe in the office LFI_Bergen, NORCE 🐟🌟 Fish you all a marry Xmas 🎄

Happy to announce two PhD positions in fish ecophysiology 📣 Fully funded, fun fish temperature physiology, supervision by me, Shaun Killen, Natalie Pilakouta! Naturvetenskap/GU Please spread the word 🙏 web103.reachmee.com/ext/I005/1035/…

First field day in 2024 went to the aquarium in Bergen. Acoustically tagged two Atlantic cod that together with video footage will help strengthening our analyses of the behaviour of tagged cod in the wild🐟 #BOATS

On the use of #aquatic #animaltracking to understand world increasingly shaped by #climatechange & #extremeevents – study led by Robert Lennox & amazing team from Lake Fish Telemetry Group now published in new Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences issue cdnsciencepub.com/doi/10.1139/cj… #fishsci #biologging #Telemetry #climate

The two weeks in Tromsø attending the ‘Fish Migrations’ course is over. Thanks for interesting and entertaining presentations, discussions and group work🐟 #TrackingNotSlacking Bergen Telemetry Network

We've extended the deadline for abstract submissions! If you're interested in presenting your research at the 2024 OTN Symposium and/or applying for travel support, please complete the online application by March 15. forms.gle/GYjhJUuRSmWcQg…

I highly recommend an Easter beach clean 🌊🫧 Always exciting to see what you find and satisfying to see the results🏖️ As a kid, picking trash became a bit of a sport because my mom always encouraged us to leave nature cleaner than we found it! #beachClean #naturelover #CleanUp

Thrilled to share my first PhD paper! 🎓Our study reveals striking differences in fjord migration between Atlantic salmon and brown trout. Curious to learn more? 🐟🔍Dive deeper here: doi.org/10.1111/jfb.15… #telemetry #salmonids #migration Kim Birnie-Gauvin, Ph.D Kim Aarestrup

Just a PhD-student trying to have an oral exam, with the 🚨firealarm🚨 intruding. Colleagues at NORCE were entertained. #PhDlife

We had a stand at the Passion For Ocean festival today, with bycatch of some fjord shark species, the salmon lifecycle boardgame made by Cecilie Iden Nilsen and shark memory game made by Lotte Dahlmo! Lots of people showed interested🦈🐟 NORCE

The OTN study hall is a great place to chat about tracking, and get help and input with data analysis! Highly recommended 🦈💻🐠

Today’s the UN World Environment Day. Our LFI lab at NORCE works a lot with restoration of fish habitats, and with telemetry we can help conserve and protect valuable species and habitats for healthy environments - also in the future🌱🌊🪸

Over the past few months, Cecilie Iden Nilsen & I have planned a free activity event for teenagers called ‘shark summer’. Very grateful to fsbi for funding the event🦈 Also, big thanks to Ocean Tracking Network for sending merch to the participating teenagers! Bergen Telemetry Network NORCE

Salmon with genes for becoming large have smaller scales for their body size. Thus, when using scales to study relationship between growth and maturation, better to use back-calculation instead of direct measures of scale size cdnsciencepub.com/doi/pdf/10.113… Geir H.

This summer, our BTN members have done fieldwork for #NFR_RePRESS project: setting up radio antennas & tagging wild Atlantic salmon adults in western Norway! PhD candidate Erlend M.Hanssen & MSc student Markus study the effects of otter predation on the salmon population🐟🦦

My second PhD paper is out! 🎓📝Does interrupting smolts during migration harm them? Our latest research investigates the impact of capturing smolts using traps 🐟Check out the full study here: doi.org/10.1002/rra.43…

Deploying acoustic release receivers in the fjord! We are ready to capture and tag the second study species in the #NFR_LOST project, the thornback ray! #Rajaclavata #telemetry

Last summer, Morgan Piczak visited us in Norway that included working on the #BOATS project, entailing tracking different species like cod & European lobster in relation to seabed restoration. Curious about telemetry & restoration efficacy? Read more here: link.springer.com/article/10.100…
