Congratulations, Spencer Chaisson! This autumn, MSc candidate Spencer Chaisson successfully completed his program in oceanography; thesis: 'Little fish in the big city: characterising limiting factors and conservation opportunities for herring larvae in a highly urbanized inlet'.

From whole organism to powder to liquid.. these #salps have been through a lot. Determining their carbohydrate content after just finishing with proteins 👀 excited to see the results. #GelatinousZooplankton

Ever wonder what happens to pet goldfish when they end up in our waterways? This one was pulled from Hamilton Harbour, where we’re studying this #InvasiveSpecies using acoustic transmitter tags.

In 2022 we are going to sample the entire North Pacific Ocean in a step forward towards understanding salmon high seas ecology. UNPRECEDENTED. Excited to be a part of it. Promo video below 👇 Year of the Salmon - North Pacific @GenyfferTroina UBC Science

Is it just me or does this decorated tree look like a Ctenophore!!?

86% of #MarineProtectedAreas in Europe, are impacted by #BottomTrawling. Supposedly protected species & ecosystems are being destroyed instead of being preserved. Virginijus Sinkevičius you can make the difference: #BanBottomTrawling in the EU by starting with #MPAs! #OceanActionPlan

RESEARCH: Krill and salp faecal pellets contribute equally to the carbon flux at the Antarctic Peninsula nature.com/articles/s4146… via nature Marine Zooplankton & Micronekton Lab

Paper alert!!! New study published in #MarineEnvironmentalResearch on gelatinous zooplankton composition and biomass distribution related to an #OMZ and #Seamount in the tropical East Atlantic. #WinnersOfClimateChange? sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Well, let's finish the worm week and go deeper into the Arctic seas. To a place where the water never gets warmer than +1 degree Celsius and the light never reaches the bottom. It's only 30 metres down. The delightful soft corals Gersemia fruticosa grow there. Yep. Arctic corals.

Very excited for the outcomes of this IYS 2022 expedition! Something I will be following very closely 👀 Year of the Salmon - North Pacific

Congratulations Alexis Bahl!! This is an amazing achievement 👏🏼

Paper alert: Pelagic tunicates... jelly-like plankton organisms... play a central role in ocean cycles. Terrific study using a 35-years dataset from the subarctic NE Pacific with Lian Kwong and Marine Zooplankton & Micronekton Lab link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Last week I successfully defended my masters thesis and I think I’ve been on a high since then 😁🤗 #gradschool #ocean #science Read it here: open.library.ubc.ca/soa/cIRcle/col…

An ironic and devastating headline as we wrap up our 3-day IYS Synthesis Symposium in Vancouver BC 🔥 Thousands of #salmon found dead as scientists here discuss how to create a vision for salmon in a rapidly changing world 🐟💔 tinyurl.com/324z3hd5
