✅ Fish ✅ Preference tanks ✅ Lights ✅Cameras .... pretty much ready to start looking at whether/ how environmental enrichment/ #animalwelfare influences our experimental behavioural data. Funded by UFAW 🐟

At the #NewForestShow chatting about our #river and #fish research. Nice to be out of the office spreading the word about protecting our aquatic environments 🏞️🌊🐟

Life under enrichment (or not) continues... Time to see what the fish make of the 🐷 (novel object) #fishsci #fishwelfare

⚠️ Rivers in Exmoor and Dartmoor National Parks polluted by pharmaceuticals according to findings from University of York & @TheRiversTrust co-authored by our staff. Read more and view the full paper, at wrt.org.uk/exmoor-dartmoo…

🌏80% of our world's population lives under light-polluted skies. How does that affect wildlife🦉, and what can we do about it? 🌆 #ThinkLandscape Via Global Landscapes Forum (GLF)

🌏We are in a growing water crisis that threatens people and our planet. We use more water than nature can replenish, and are destroying the ecosystem that water and all life depend on most -- #Wetlands. Check the following facts about wetlands and water via MedWet

#FlumeFriday fish passage tests finished - the final phase of my UFAW project on whether environmental enrichment in husbandry tanks influences our experimental data. A LOT of data collected this summer. Excited to see what we find. #fishsci #fishwelfare
