Two weeks ago we had the pleasure to attend a stakeholder meeting at The Marine and Freshwater Institute to discuss a data-rich and climate-resilient future for fisheries with Infinifish and MarineGuardian.

Today we want to celebrate Gabrielle Ladurée, a PhD candidate at Hólar University and the University of Iceland as she got awarded a Rannís grant. Not only that, she also recently published her first study that came out of her PhD!
Check out her paper link.springer.com/article/10.1...
Screenshot of paper titled "Disentangling the effects of resource level and temperature dependence on the performance of fish in different guilds" with a first author named Bass Dye.
A paper on temperature effects on fish, written by Bass Dye. Nominative determinism strikes again!
(Interesting-looking paper too!)
Let me show you this Bowfin!
🌊Our latest research suggests releasing pollack close to their catch depths can result in their survival rates increasing from 56% for surface-released fish to more than 80%!

To live, yes! The otoliths are collected when the fish are dead
Depending on the project, there are different ways to age a fish (species-by-species basis) where measuring scale and otolith rings are great examples. That can, for example, provide information on growth rates and life history traits

Can YOU say what makes a fish a fish???? 🐟🐠🐡
#icefishresearch #fish #sciencecommunication #DidYouKnow
What is Electrofishing?
Electrofishing is a fishing method which uses electricity to catch fish. It is a common method used by scientists when doing surveys as it does not kill or harm fish. The fish can just swim away when electricity is turned off.

We are so proud of our new podcast. Cosy up with a hot chocolate and listen to our wonderful guests in season 1 of Fiskaspjall 🐟 #fiskaspjall #podcast #sciencecommunication #icefishresearch
Ever wonder how fish move through the water column and don't just sink down like a rock?

Ingibjörg G. Jónsdóttir at @mfri.bsky.social along with her co-authors Jón Sólmundsson, Peter J. Wright, William Butler and Pamela Woods published a paper in the ICES Journal of Marine Science.
The study explores the roles of total egg production and the survival of young fish in their first year.
New research explores how bottom trawling disturbs the seafloor, releases carbon, and what can be done to lessen its damage.

Have you ever wondered what it is like to write a master’s thesis? We caught up with Sadie Ainsworth after her thesis defense and asked her about her experience & recommendations for future students 🐟🎓

You may have seen us mentioning “phenotype” before as it is such a common term in biology. However, it is not so much used in daily life so we decided to explain it in this infographic!
Be on the look-out for future “What is…” posts where we explain fish biology, common terms and all things fish 🐟
Our podcast, Fiskaspjall, is live! 🔥Fiskaspjall is where we talk all things fishy.

Valliant et al. studied where young saithe (Pollachius virens) and Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) live in waters that large nets and past beach seine surveys cannot reach. Comparing diver observations with years of beach seine data to better understand the depths the fish use and when they settle.
