The annual manual tracking float down the 35+km of the river Rönne å was beautiful as always. Also saw some of the left over effects of high spring flows. #trackingnotslacking LIFE CONNECTS

One of the largest spawning migrations of Zander in lake Vänern (Sweden’s largest lake) happens in the river Byälven. Where do they go? How long are they in the river? Trying to answer these questions and more for management with acoustic telemetry. LänsstyrelsenVärmland Olle Calles

Looking for a new role? We are hiring a fish telemetry technician to come and work in the diadromous fish team. You will be managing the extensive suite of scout is receivers and will be spending plenty of time at sea on our research vessels! core-scottishgovernment.icims.com/jobs/9036/mari…

When Illinois Waterway locks closed in 2020, a busy riverine shipping corridor ground to a halt. The river responded. The vessel traffic pause led to improved water quality and a redistribution of fishes. Read about it in our OA STOTEN article from Illinois Natural History Survey USGS

Permanent post available in the renewables team. We are looking for a diadromous fish scientist. Great opportunity to develop in this exciting role with a focus on acoustic telemetry in the marine environment core-scottishgovernment.icims.com/jobs/9221/mari…

Experienced tech manager? Led a team? Researched using bio-logging tags? Interested in joining us as our new Group Lead or Telemetry Research Support Lead? If so, you still have until this Friday, 12th July, to apply. See: static1.squarespace.com/static/6232250… #engineeringjobs #marinecareers

Does transporting salmon smolts past river migration bottlenecks enhance migration success? New paper Colin Bean SCENE Jessie Lilly Hannele Honkanen Jessica Rodger J. Peter Koene

High migration success of Atlantic salmon smolts in standing waters could be due to relative current speeds providing good quality directional cues to migrants. More from Jessica Rodger Colin Adams Angus Lothian SCENE UofG SBOHVM GFT  doi.org/10.1111/eff.12…

New from SCENE - navigation in downstream migrating salmon smolts switches from rheotaxis in rivers to a random search tactic in lakes except where residual flow cues in some lakes prevent this, at times resulting in suboptimal navigation outcomes.  doi.org/10.1111/jfb.15…

Good to see this paper finally out: doi.org/10.1186/s40317… Great baseline data on depth use of migrating salmon smolts in fjords! Key takeaway: smolts predominately migrate in the top 3 meters of the water column throughout the fjord.
