Young Atlantic #salmon seen in three English rivers for first time in a decade https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/dec/30/young-atlantic-salmon-english-rivers-mersey-bollin-goyt

"Young #AtlanticSalmon have been seen in north-west England for the first time since 2015... Significant stretches of river were biologically dead in the 1980s but today they support thriving ecosystems and are home to a number of pollution-intolerant fish species. Those species are recovering thanks to a significant environmental turnaround"

Hot off the press! Our paper showing #eDNA #metabarcoding's ability to give quantitative insights into #AtlanticSalmon distribution in a #river catchment is now published in #JFB: https://doi.org/10.1111/jfb.70172
Really enjoyed this one. Showing, once again, the value of integrating eDNA into freshwater #biodiversity monitoring, while also revealing some interesting trends relating to #salmon #ecology. Big thanks to Nigel Milner for his incredible knowledge of salmonids/Conwy which underpinned this work!
Sometimes failure breeds success. 🎣
Ontario’s decade-long, costly attempt to stock Atlantic salmon in Lake Ontario flopped—but the lessons may shape future conservation wins.

Up next, we have @Joris_Philip, FSBI PhD student, who talks to us about phenotypic plasticity and diet in #ArcticCharr, #BrownTrout and #AtlanticSalmon. Using #GeneExpression, #morphology and #MetabolicRate in these species, fed a benthic and limnetic diet, adaptive divergence is driven by phenotypic plasticity. Atlantic salmon showed greater phenotypic plasticity than expected #FSBI2025
#AtlanticSalmon are in decline across their range, but mobilisation of #data on this iconic species is lagging behind. Graeme Diack talks about the difficulties of collating data across a species that spans so many disciplines #FSBI2025
Elliot Sivel outlines an #AtlanticSalmon life cycle model which estimates life stages specific abundances based off of basic #ecological principles. Parr mortality is an important source of uncertainty #FSBI2025
