Went out trying to catch and tag Chimaera monstrosa, ghostsharks, for the #SOSF_GhostTrack / #NFR_PUFFINS projects. Didn’t manage to catch any unfortunately, but we did catch a beautiful blackmouth catshark 🦈 We’ll try again next week!

Tagged some sea trout (Salmo trutta) Friday evening for our #RFF_BOATS project. Will hopefully get some cool positioning data from the bay once they leave the river! 🐟

Today is International Shark Day!
Sharks are over 550 species that come in many shapes and sizes, from the minuscule 20 cm long dwarf lanternshark to the almost 100 times longer whale shark. Amazing! (but not a surprise, which was ruined by their names).

We've installed a PIT antenna in Nidelva to track returning Atlantic salmon smolts tagged last year through our #NFR_HITLice project. Smolts were infested with sea lice before release. Low discharge makes drilling the antenna to the riverbed easier, still a river with 3–4°C makes it quite tough!
