Research into bowhead whales finds unique foraging behaviour
Understanding the needs of bowheads is a crucial first step taken to learn how they will respond to climate change.
Harbour seals respond differently to pulses of out-migrating coho and Chinook salmon smolts
UBC researchers set out to determine who was eating juvenile salmon, and when and where it was occurring by capturing and tracking harbour seals that carried cell-phone-like devices that recorded everything and everywhere the seals went.
PROFILE: Ocean Leaders step outside the lab to connect with communities and solve ocean problems
Ocean Leaders teaches students from across disciplines in the natural and social sciences how to communicate marine research to a broad audience
IOF researchers use salmon scales to track sockeye in the high seas
Knowing where different salmon stocks forage will be essential for identifying the unique environmental threats they will face as oceans become more inhospitable due to climate change and other cumulative impacts.
Understanding why fish grow the way they do and getting serious about it
Daniel Pauly argues that scientists need to avoid attaching human attributes to fish and start looking at their unique biology and constraints through a different lens.
Fisheries managers should not abuse Maximum Sustainable Yield
The Sea Around Us’ Daniel Pauly, and Rainer Froese, senior scientist at the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research, talk about their recent paper “MSY needs no epitaph—but it was abused”.
Salmon diet database gives researchers a new “window into the lives of salmon”
The database fill gaps in scientists’ understanding of the late marine phase of the salmon life cycle
What’s Killing Killer Whales?
Despite there being no singular common cause of death, the study found a common theme: Human-caused deaths occurred in every age class — from juveniles to subadults and adults.
