After 7 years I’ve finally published my masters thesis! We used observational data to help understand the suitability of Arctic habitat for sperm and northern bottlenose whales. Thanks to all who were involved esp my co-authors and funders. @jeffwhigdon @uwiceland

Little is known about the habitat of #SpermWhales and #NorthernBottlenoseWhales in the Canadian Arctic. In this new paper habitat suitability models were produced from opportunistic observations to better understand the ecology of these species bit.ly/meps_723_57

Twitterless grad student Nate Hermann has 2 pubs on movements+behavior of Arctic sculpins. Accelerometry under winter sea ice: doi.org/10.1007/s00300-023-0… Year-round movements: doi.org/10.1139/cjfas-2023-0… @NEHmarine @OceanTracking @COLSA_UNH @UNHMarine DM/email for PDFs
A tagged sculpin is underwater, resting on the rocky substrate. A yellow external tag is placed on the dorsal side of the fish. Work done with permits, community permission, and via approved protocols.

So lucky to be part of this amazing Arctic field program!
Ocean Tracking Network@OceanTracking7 Feb 2023
For 10+ years, OTN & collaborators at the @husseylab (@uwindsor) have been involved w/ growing an extensive Arctic monitoring program in key coastal and offshore regions of Baffin Bay, supporting research on Greenland halibut, Greenland shark, narwhal, Arctic skate, & more! 1/3

#Bycatch reduction strategy in #ArcticFisheries was assessed using electronic tags on Greenland halibut, Greenland sharks & Arctic skate. Species overlap in deep waters means fisheries should consider new bycatch reduction methods. #FeatureArticle bit.ly/meps_702_1

Each of these projects is different – because each one is being designed by communities, for communities – but the goals are the same: Protect our lands and waters, strengthen communities, and fight climate change. Learn more about these projects: pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-releas…

'Soft-release' refers to the practice of providing reintroduced animals with a predator-free acclimatization period before release. Check out how this affects movement behaviour of reintroduced salmon in our new paper in NAJFM! @ontariosalmon @NSERC_CRSNG doi.org/10.1002/nafm.10759
