Did you know that only about 1% of rivers in the UK are free-flowing? - if we are to save our fish, we need to unblock our rivers: theguardian.com/environment/20… ~ via The Guardian
Eels are one of my favourite fish, in this film I met up with Sustainable Eel Group to talk about the issues they face. youtube.com/watch?v=KlXHGf… Sustainable Eel Group Glaven Eel The Rivers Trust Severn Rivers Trust Unlocking the Severn WWF EU @EelTown_org ESTRUSEEL ESF International

Great work on the River Lambourn at Shaw, Newbury to remove the gauging station and allow fish passage today. Good news for fish populations and habitat of R. Lambourn. A new ultrasonic gauge will measure river levels. Funded by Environment AgencySE. Work by @landwatergroup.
Really excited to share my latest paper on selective fish passage. Research assessed whether two low cost fish passage solutions also aid the passage the non-native American signal crayfish. authors.elsevier.com/a/1c3r014Z6tei… Andy Vowles @Paul_Kemp_Fish @UoS_ICER @Maddie31478503
Great example of low-cost fish passes being installed that have either been developed or tested at @UoS_ICER. Andy Vowles @Paul_Kemp_Fish Also, the CBC array pictured below won't aid the spread of Signal crayfish (a harmful non-native species): doi.org/10.1016/j.jenv…
Interested in #RiverLamprey, #telemetry and/or #AgentBasedModelling. Check out the latest paper from me and researchers at @UoS_ICER, Durham Uni Aquatic Animal Ecology Lab and HR Wallingford: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Interested in how #RiverLamprey move upstream and approach barriers in rivers. Check out this paper to find out more: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Collaborators: @UoS_ICER HR Wallingford Durham Uni Aquatic Animal Ecology Lab
