Salmon camps show youth Indigenous science at work
Imagine a summer camp where you can watch grizzly bears catch salmon in streams, while learning about the migration and preparation of the fish hovering in the water at your feet.
Nearly half of countries’ shared fish stocks are on the move due to climate change, prompting dispute concerns
The study tracked the shifting ranges of 9,132 transboundary fish stocks, which account for 80 per cent of catch taken from the world’s EEZs, starting in 2006 and projecting to the year 2100.
How big is that whale?
New data from stranded whales is yielding better estimates of body sizes needed to determine drug dosages, as well as assess the health and food requirements of whales
Enhanced statistical models will aid conservation of killer whales and other species
The whale used to develop the model preferred to save energy by gliding through the water when making deep dives, and when it was closer to the surface, it moved more actively, accelerating faster and ‘fluking’ its tail more often.
Data confirm link between respiratory stress and fish reproduction
A consistent metabolic ratio found across 133 Chinese marine and freshwater fish species provides new evidence in support of the idea that fish become sexually active – and spawn for the first time – in response to growth-induced respiratory stress.
Changes in the international trade in live seahorses (Hippocampus spp.) after their listing on CITES Appendix II
This new Fisheries Centre Research Report (FCRR) investigates the international live trade in seahorses.
Estimating the biomass of commercially exploited fisheries stocks left in the ocean
This new Fisheries Centre Research Report (FCRR) presents the key results of a multi-year activity of the Sea Around Us devoted to assessing the status of marine fisheries globally.
PROFILE: Saving British Columbian streams, rivers and lakes for fish
The Applied Freshwater Ecology Research Unit’s (AFERU) job is to find ways to conserve freshwater species, test effectiveness of current conservation strategies, and understand how freshwater fish are responding to changes in their habitats.
Ecologists and mental health researchers unite to improve patient care, save wild animals using Fitbit-like devices
Narwhals, sharks, and polar bears can help medical professionals improve care for patients with mental health struggles – and patients with conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder can offer insights that will help the conservation of many wild animals.
