How useful is underwater video as a fisheries assessment tool in temperate freshwater ecosystems? ABSTRACTObjective. Remote underwater video (RUV) is a noninvasive survey technique that has long been used in marine ecosystems and is now gaining interest

How useful is underwater video as a fisheries assessment tool in freshwater?

@jacobbowman.bsky.social asked this question for his honours thesis, by comparing video against other ways of counting fish.

Hard to believe it’s already been two years since I finished my master’s. I am grateful for the mentors, field days, and late nights that shaped where I am today.

What are the effects of tagging on fishes? 🐟

Our review + meta-analysis explores intracoelomic tagging effects in fishes. We summarize the existing literature and examine the 2% rule using evidence from a broad representation of all published studies.

Just came across this method from 1970: researchers used a periscope-like device frozen into the ice to watch fish under the surface. Such a clever way to study winter ecosystems! 🐟❄️ From Magnuson & Karlen (1970).

This study identified factors that affect behaviour and physiology of lake trout during catch-and-release angling. These insights may be used to develop context-specific best practices for angling.
