Open day for trout fishing in Mondego. A great oportunity for collaboration between scientists and anglers to catch and tag trouts, while discussing, in situ, conservation and management actions for diadromous fishes. Universidade Évora @MARE_centre Interreg Atlantic Area #DiadESproject

After a few rainy days, these active sea trout decided to visit our #smoltrap!! 🙂 Universidade Évora Bianka Galik❄‍ North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organization Ministério do Mar 🇵🇹 #Salmonlink #Salmonlink_project #Smoltrack

This week Sea-Unicorn is running another training school! An introduction to using chemical markers to estimate movement + connectivity. Thanks to our awesome trainers (Audrey Darnaude, Susanne Tanner, Clive Trueman (clivetrue.bsky.social), Dr Anna Sturrock) and participants! COST @MarineConnectivity

Did you know that salmon undergo a metamorphosis when they are ready to transition from rivers to the sea? It is evident that they need to migrate in order to feed and grow! #species #imigration #oceans #rivers SIC Notícias Universidade Évora youtu.be/vrScXmMqvZo

Fish from the Tagus streams: the end of a week of monitoring fish communities @MARE_centre

SALMONLINK Sampling Season 2023. This year with the special collaboration of Madeleine Berry, from Salmonid Ecology Group - University of Gothenburg. It was such a good time at the field 😊 See more details about this work: seggothenburg.com/news/maps-port… #Salmonlink #Salmonlink_project Universidade Évora @MARE_centre North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organization

Poster presentations by our students at #TIBE2023. I am happy and proud to have good student cohort, with enthusiastic folks! @MARE_centre #megapredator #invasivesproject

Not so much a sea bass! Check out our paper, lead by Rita Almeida on the sea bass incursions upstream in the Tagus River, moving up to 120km inland. Bianka Galik❄‍ doi.org/10.1111/jfb.15…

We are at #MORAPESCA the largest angling and fishing meeting in PT, doing sci outreach of our MARE! Such as LVPeixes #salmonlink or #lifeagueda #lifepredator supported by LIFE Programme

⚠️#Lampreys are declining in Portuguese #rivers ‼️ Pedro R. Almeida, MARE Director, warns us that 2024 could be the worst year since this specie is monitored. The scarcity of lampreys already caused the ❌cancellation of a gastronomy festival in the municipality of #Penacova

Great work done by PhD student Rita Almeida SIBIC2024 describing the occurrence of sea bass adults in Tagus river 150km upstream in freshwater environments. Glad that we could participate. MARE check out our paper "Not so much a sea bass" at Journal of Fish Biology

We are back to the field to recover the telemetry loggers. Cold temperatures in PT will not demotivated us from understanding better the movements of the invasive European Catfish in order to increase efficiency of control actions. #LIFEPREDATOR LIFE Programme MARE
