NEWS! A new MSA paper brings us closer to understanding the decline in marine survival of wild Atlantic salmon, linking the decline with the declines in zooplankton energy available to the fish prey of migrating juvenile salmon. Read in full: bit.ly/4eZl6cL

Decompressing after an amazing week at #FSBI2023. It was SO fun, inspiring & productive. Partly bc of obsessive planning & prepping, but mostly because EVERYONE threw themselves into it. Organisers, speakers, delegates, staff. Thank you all for making it such a success 🙌 🐟

😳 - just - 😳 ...... Not Good.
Large catches of #alien pink #salmon are caught in the River Teno/Tana 🇫🇮🇳🇴 using small traditional Sámi drift nets modified for pinks. Up to 100 fish per single short sweep. Migration is soon over, focus is now on shallow spawning grounds @LukeFinlandInt @Barents_IAS

Emma Tyldesley seeking to understand declining marine survival of Atl Salmon using @CPRSurvey estimates of zooplankton- data suggest declining zoops along migration route correlated with salmon returns #FSBI2023 @fsbi2023 @TheFSBI
