Norway has proposed Snowy Owl be added to Convention on Migratory Species Appendix II, at #CMSCOP15 (Brazil, March 2026), as a species of unfavourable conservation status requiring international agreement for its conservation. @cms.int Scientific Council will evaluate the proposal this week in Bonn.
The Snowy Owl has been declared Regionally Extinct in Sweden. For the first time in 20 years, the country has officially lost a bird species. - www.birdlife.org/news/2025/12...

After taking (too) many pictures of scales we finally have our new study out: Identifying escaped farmed salmon from scales using deep learning: academic.oup.com/biomethods/a...
The model works well and covers the major Atlantic salmon rivers in Norway. Could be adpated to other fish and places!
