Hatchery Propagation of Imperiled Aquatic Organisms for Recovery and Restoration: A Review of Twenty Priority Programs in the United States Hatchery propagation is widely used to conserve and restore aquatic species but remains controversial due to its mixed success. While some programs have contributed to conservation, others have bee...

Led by Abigail Golden, we explore our different understandings of “stewardship” in fisheries from the perspectives of a group of recreational fisheries scientists conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Scenic photo of a river and mountains, with text: The American Fisheries Society stands strong in its support for the federal workforce. Federal fisheries professionals serve as the stewards of America’s natural resources. But the current termination of federal employees threatens the very foundation of fisheries and aquatic resources stewardship in this country. This stewardship is at risk, and with it the public trust resources citizens have enjoyed for generations. The continued layoffs and other attempts to reduce the workforce will erode the knowledge, skills and experience needed to manage our natural resources. This will have long-term devastating impacts on everyone who relies on public lands and waters for their livelihoods and well-being, as well as devastating an essential professional workforce for years, perhaps decades. The value this workforce brings to conservation, science, and stewarding our public trust resources cannot be overstated—all of which benefits every U.S. citizen.

Just returned from issesr7.ifop.cl in Puerto Varas, Chile with @fisheriesprof.bsky.social & others. New insights on aquaculture-assisted fisheries, new birds on my list, new connections, rekindling old ones, and curanto, the traditional sea/land-food dish of Isla de Chiloe. ¡Fantástico!

Politically-charged rumors and conspiracy theories about Helene flourish on X False claims about the hurricane and the government’s response got millions of views on X. Emergency management researchers say it makes it harder for useful information to surface.

Ok let’s not forget Florida’s gorgeous freshwater landscapes either

Friday evening at the beach in Sarasota, Florida. More about the science we do here soon :)

That’s Florida, too. I’m so lucky to have this quite literally as my backyard.

I’m sorry the revision is taking longer than expected

Gila trout PhD assistantship flyer with the following text: The Pregler Lab in the USGS New Mexico Cooperative Fish & Wildlife Research Unit and the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Ecology at New Mexico State University invites applications for a PhD assistantship beginning late spring/early summer 2024. This position will focus on assessing the effects of a Gila trout outcrossing experiment in the Gila National Forest. The student will develop questions investigating the various fitness outcomes of outcrossing (i.e., genetic rescue potential), and the mating structure and reproductive success through fieldwork and genetic & pedigree analyses. Benefits include guaranteed funding for five years, RA salary 26-27k/year, tuition waiver, health insurance reimbursement. Applications due November 27th 2023. Eligibility and instructions on how to apply can be found at https://preglerlab/join. Questions about the position should be sent by email to kpregler@nmsu.edu.
