Moving further north, Ava Sergio tells us about #AtlanticWhitefish in #NovaScotia, Canada. It is one of the most endangered fish in #Canada. Using acoustic #telemetry, Ava looked at the movement of 30 invasive fish (#ChainPickerel and #SmallmouthBass) to see resource selection. Lots of overlap with the long suffering #whitefish. Some amazing resolution on movement! #FSBI2025

Atlantic whitefish are on the brink of extinction. Can a captive breeding program save them? | CBC News

Scientists will implant tiny tracking tags in up to 200 captive-raised Atlantic whitefish this year as part of the effort to stave off extinction of one of Canada's most critically endangered species.
