ICE Fish Research

We are back from summer holiday!

Did you know that juvenile fish are found at different locations than adult fish? Juveniles are found on nursery grounds. Researcher looked at the nursery grounds for brown trout and arctic charr around lake Þingvallavatn.

Við komum aftur í ágúst með nýjar sögur, sturlaðar staðreyndir um fiska og hlaðvarp. Eigið frábært sumar. 🐟

ICE Fish Research is going into a summer break!!☀️
We will be back in August with new stories, fishy fun facts and a podcast. Have a great summer! 🐟

Happy FISHdependence day!!!🎉

The 17th of June is Iceland's national day. On this day, we celebrate Iceland's independence from Denmark. In 1944 Iceland became fully independent from Denmark. We celebrate on the birthday of Jón Sigurðsson, who pushed for this movement.

🔦🔬This week, we spotlight Einar Pétur Jónsson, a PhD & marine biologist @mfri.bsky.social! Learn about his work, grad school life, & hobbies: icefishresearch.com/2025/06/12/meet-einar-petur-jonsson/

Happy fishermen's day! 🐟

Fishing has always been an important part of Iceland's history & culture. So we celebrate fishermen on the first Sunday of June each year. In some towns you'll find boat rides on offer, free entries to museums & fishing competitions, sea swimming and concerts

One year ago ICE Fish Research was born🥳 We can't believe that one year has passed already. We thank all of you who have been there from the beginning and to all that joined along the ride. To another fishy year🥳
And thank you to Sandra Rybicki for our new logo🐟

The CODSPA project funded by NordForsk is underway! Led by Marco Vindas, researchers from Norway, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands are joining to study how stress affects cod reproduction during spawning. The aim to ensure sustainable fishing practices and protect populations across the Nordic region.

#acoustictelemetry is used as a tool to #research #fishmovement and behaviour. There are a variety of #acoustictransmitters to measure fish movement. Between small or large scale data to collect, it just depends on the questions you ask

Fish eggs are not only tasty to us but also to other fish. To make sure the next generation survives salmonids make sure their eggs are safe by dropping them between stones 🥚 #icefishresearch #fishiceland #infographic

#fieldwork sometimes means collecting #acoustictelemetry receivers by #scubadiving and having surprise visitors. Like this male lumpfish! 🐟😍
Did you know that males protect egg nests of up to 140,000 eggs until they hatch?!
