The past few days have been fantastic sampling on the River Deveron looking at how metabolism influences growth and migration of salmonids. Great team with @Peterbetts64 @PolarPaddy and @chen_zelin. Thanks to @AST_Salmon for all their help in the field.

My first time to visit River Deveron for field experiments measuring salmon / trout metabolic rates with Essex ECOSAGE lab mates @ejogorman @Peterbetts64 , @AM_GlezFerreras and @PolarPaddy . Great working experiences in the mixed weather. @EssexLifeSci @EssexPostgrads

Massive thanks to @Gameandwildlife for all their help sampling the river Frome last week as part of my PhD looking at how metabolism influences: diet, growth, and migration in Atlantic salmon and brown trout. Thanks also to @DanielOsmond for stepping in to tag last minute.

Nice to be out in the field for a second day of PIT tagging fish with @Gameandwildlife for @Peterbetts64's PhD work. A nice look into the world of fishy metabolism!
