Now published open access in @cjfas. This one is for you nerds who like swim tunnel respirometry and accelerometer tags. Led by @TrentUResearch MSc student @ErinRitchiee, work done at CCIW with @sci_angler from 2021-23. Thanks to @LampreyControl for funding.

⭐ Researcher Highlight ⭐ Dr. Jacob Brownscombe (@sci_angler), Research Scientist at @FishOceansCAN, is shaping the future of freshwater science in the Great Lakes region. 🌊🐟 His research uses a unique blend of telemetry, accelerometry, and machine learning to model habitats for species like walleye, largemouth bass, and at-risk silver shiner. He recently received the 2025 Stevenson Lectureship Award for his creative early-career endeavors. Keep up the fantastic work! 🎉 #FishTracking #GreatLakes #EcosystemScience

We have alewife in the lab at @FishOceansCAN Burlington. Took them ~ a week to get happy and eating. A big win in itself. Soon we’ll tag them with transmitters to assess survival, helping to guide future tracking of wild fish. Collab w @UWindsor @ONresources @LampreyControl
