Ingibjörg G. Jónsdóttir at @mfri.bsky.social along with her co-authors Jón Sólmundsson, Peter J. Wright, William Butler and Pamela Woods published a paper in the ICES Journal of Marine Science.
The study explores the roles of total egg production and the survival of young fish in their first year.

New research explores how bottom trawling disturbs the seafloor, releases carbon, and what can be done to lessen its damage.

You may have seen us mentioning “phenotype” before as it is such a common term in biology. However, it is not so much used in daily life so we decided to explain it in this infographic!

Be on the look-out for future “What is…” posts where we explain fish biology, common terms and all things fish 🐟

Our podcast, Fiskaspjall, is live! 🔥Fiskaspjall is where we talk all things fishy.

Valliant et al. studied where young saithe (Pollachius virens) and Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) live in waters that large nets and past beach seine surveys cannot reach. Comparing diver observations with years of beach seine data to better understand the depths the fish use and when they settle.

What fish can you find swimming between the algae in the rocky intertidal zone of Breiðafjörður? 🐟
Are these fish impacted by seaweed harvesting?🌱

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.

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🐟
