In the icy fjords of Norway, Lotte S Dahlmo and team have tagged their first elusive deep-sea fish rarely seen near the surface: chimaeras!
Cold hands, dark nights, and frozen boats are paying off as the mystery of the ghost shark begins to unfold.

Breaking the ice: capturing and tagging the first chimaera monstrosa

Just outside the city centre of Bergen, the marine harbour of the Norwegian west coast, an elusive, mysterious deep-water species can be observed by scuba divers at around 20-30 meters depth. The ghos...

We've been out popping up acoustic release receivers for fine-scale positioning of thornback rays in our beautiful fjords. Several million detections to work with over the past year! Read more here: www.bergentelemetry.com/post/a-year-...

PhD candidate Jessica Robichaud at Cooke lab at @carleton.ca is visiting us for a month to help with field work. Today, she presented her work for our lab. She is using acoustic telemetry to track permit in the Florida keys! So interesting to see some of her findings! 🐟

Pathogen and Gene Expression Profiles of Atlantic Salmon From an Endangered Population

The role of pathogens in impacting the behaviour and fate of salmonids has been studied extensively for some selected pathogens such as sea lice. However, the whole pathobiome of the fish are seldom ...

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!

On the third evening of our writing retreat, we all joined in on starting a new manuscript for the #NFR_LOST project 🦈 Within a few hours we’d sketched out a good first draft. Very motivating to work on the same manuscript simultaneously!

How much data would you need? We also have some Sonotronics OP data we can share if it’s needed?

You should! Although I had to look up what an IDE is (which didnt help - I’m still confused)
