Memorial University has fantastic cold oceans and northern programs, and even more fantastic students and researchers. In this profile, doctoral candidate (in Fisheries Science, at Fisheries and Marine Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland) Eugenie Jacobsen talks about what brought her to Memorial: "Studying fisheries science in Newfoundland and Labrador was a no brainer! The importance of fisheries to the cultural and socio-economic practices of this province have made Memorial University and the Marine Institute leaders in fisheries innovation." Read the interview to hear more about her research and activities (and to learn more about how to become a grad student at Memorial!): https://lnkd.in/eh3SaK27

Manuscript acceptance letters are always nice, but they're so much more rewarding when they include a whack of first-time authors, including a high school student! Excited to share that my first paper with a secondary school student playing a coauthor-worthy role was accepted for publication today! A big congrats to Sarah, Jill, and Isabelle on their first publication. Keep your eyes peeled for an efficient, non-destructive method for monitoring clam populations, coming soon in Estuaries & Coasts. #scientificpublishing #marinebiology #sustainablesciencepractices Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation (CERF) Fisheries and Oceans Canada / Pêches et Océans Canada

The collaborative survey between Korea-Indonesia MTCRC and ITB was conducted on April 19-20, 2024, in the Cirebon waters. Led by Dr. Lamona I Bernawis, the first day focused on obtaining oceanic parameters and sea current data. ITB students utilized Hydrocolor Instruments and Secchi Disks to collect data for their thesis research. The following day, 28 ITB students delved into a study on fish nets and gained hands-on experience in their construction. The exposure to MTCRC equipment like ADCP, CTD WiMo for measurements, Niskin bottle for water sampling, and plankton net for plankton collection is invaluable for their Oceanography Fisheries course. This blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application is sure to enhance their understanding of marine science. #koreaindonesia?#mtcrc?#itb?#cirebon?#oceanographic?#marine?#marinescience

??Serendipity:?good luck in making unexpected and fortunate discoveries. Publication comparing effects of storm vs bottom trawling... ??In 2017, a team of scientists NIOZ Estuarine and Delta Systems department faced an unexpected summer storm during their North Sea research expedition, onboard the #RVPelagia, but forged ahead with their field experiments anyway. ?? Teaming up with the skipper of a commercial fishing vessel, they were able to finish bottom trawl experiments and deploy all equipment needed to collect information the fishing effect before the storm intensified. Retrieval of equipment had to wait until the storm subsided but when the data was finally retrieved, the researchers were astonished. ? "Despite minor storm-induced damage, the devices had captured not only the effects of trawling but also intriguing insights into the impact of the storm itself! These serendipitous findings eventually resulted in a publication in Scientific Reports describing biogeochemical dynamics during the marine storm and comparing it to that of recent trawling", say Justin Tiano, first author of the publication and now fisheries scientist Wageningen Marine Research Come check out the newly published findings here??? https://lnkd.in/ej-MkNWY You can find the original blog about the expedition on the NIOZ website ?? https://lnkd.in/edqzk49c

Via NOAA's Office of Response and Restoration - New Publication on Potential Population-Level Impacts of Oil Spills on Pacific Herring - DARP NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration: A new publication, "Potential Population-Level Impacts of Future Oil Spills on Pacific Herring Stocks in Puget Sound(link is external)" reports on research carried out by OR&R's Assessment and Restoration Division and the Northwest Fisheries Science Center. Published in early February, the paper evaluates the modeled responses of Puget Sound Pacific herring stocks to simulated oil spills. This paper builds on decades of research on the effects of oil on fish and a long-term partnership between OR&R and the Northwest Fisheries Science Center to develop science for natural resource damage assessment and restoration. https://lnkd.in/gyw6cnvb

Kristjan Vigfusson, my PhD candidate at Vieskiptafr?eideild Háskóla íslands, University of Iceland (Háskóli íslands) has published the forth article of his thesis. It is titled Integrating Resource-Based and Market-Based Views in the Fisheries Industry – CEO perspectives published in Marine Policy. As a co-author I can share with you a link to the article, but an access to it is free until December 12th 2024; https://lnkd.in/e-DGe3GG. The purpose of the study was to identify competitive advantage in the industry and find out how it is evolving within the perspective of resource-based view and market-based view.?

Do you think enough work is being done to investigate reasons behind fish kills? From a scientific standpoint, many researchers are very interested in the causation of fish mortality events. However, in terms of having a large-scale project dedicated to answering this question, more could be done. For example, we still do not know if the shipping channel or other human impacts may lead to fish kills. I think we should consecutively monitor conditions so that when a kill happens, we can isolate potential drivers. If we find out that this is a preventable water-quality issue, then we absolutely should be working to fix that issue as fast as possible.

Using a comprehensive set of in-situ observations as well as the results from numerical modelling simulations, researchers with CNAM, Université de Bretagne Occidentale, Ifremer, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada / Pêches et Océans Canada studied local upwelling and downwelling disturbances along the shores of an island in Newfoundland. https://lnkd.in/dKC4a5cY #hydrgeology #oceanography #civilengineering

The DNR’s Northern Highland Fishery Research Area (NHFRA) is a group of five lakes near Boulder Junction, Wisconsin, that has been continuously managed for experimental fisheries research since 1946. This research station has been the source of countless scientific studies throughout the decades and has served as an important training ground for many early-career fisheries professionals. In fact, in the last five years alone, the Northern Highland Fishery Research Area has been the source of 16 different emerging fisheries researchers’ first-ever scientific publications. Because publication is a major feat at any point in a scientist’s career, being a part of so many firsts is special and a trend we plan to continue. With research exploring everything from the impacts of different types of habitat on fish populations to many the ways people interact with our lakes and their ecosystems, you can learn more about research coming out of the Northern Highland Fishery Research Area by visiting the property's Publications webpage: https://lnkd.in/gKqKJ6N8.
