How useful is underwater video as a fisheries assessment tool in freshwater? @BowmanJacob_ asked this question for his honours thesis, by comparing video against other ways of counting fish. Editor's Choice in TAFS: academic.oup.com/tafs/advanc…

Very proud of this project and the resulting paper. Underwater video is a promising alternative to capture-based fish sampling methods.

The advantages of using underwater video include the ability to sample diverse habitats, the low level of invasiveness, the reduced need for specialized training compared to conventional fisheries research methods, and the unique behavioural observations that result from video.

Thanks to @graham_raby, @amberlfedus, and Michael Fox, along with members of the Stoney Lake community for supporting the project. I will conclude with a clip of some otters checking out my camera setup, captured during the project.

It was a pleasure to be Erin's research assistant on this project in 2021! Here are some of the amazing and variable streams we visited during our fieldwork.
📣 Just published in @conphysjournal with @BowmanJacob_ , Chris Wilson, and @graham_raby How much does upper thermal tolerance vary among wild populations of brook trout? What drives this variation? 🌡️ 🧵 1/5 doi.org/10.1093/conphys/coae…

Hard work pays off. Proud of our lab's new honours thesis graduates. Sam Chasse (left) and @imogenbellinger are both off to do their MSc in the heart of Canada with my buddy @CalebHasler. @BowmanJacob_ (right) is doing his MSc with the legendary Mark Ridgway @OpeongoTweets.

A sneak peek into the tagging process for my PhD project using this recent, record-sized muskie! For this fish, I used a V16AT accelerometer tag which features a temperature sensor from @Innovasea 🐟💨🌡️ Thanks to @BowmanJacob_ for capturing this time-lapse!

Groundwater seeps & springs flow into Harper Creek in @HarperParkPtbo helping to keep parameters like H2O temperature & clarity optimal in this delicate urban brook trout stream. Pretty magical to have this natural habitat within @CityPtbo limits!
