Really enjoyed coming home for a week to Belfast and getting to present my recent #fishysounds work - great week and such a lovely crowd of people πŸ˜€

Thanks #FSBI2025, and see you next year in Southampton!
Glad you enjoyed it - sure - lets chat!
Fab fieldtrip to the River Bush Salmon Station and Runkerry Strand on Day3 of #FSBI2025 - learning a load about local #Atlanticsalmon management strategies - finished the evening with a local curry chip!

πŸ“’ Exciting #PhD alert! Study Atlantic bluefin #tuna in Southwest UK waters using #drones, remote sensing, #ocean profiling & eDNA while working with #anglers🐟 www.plymouth.ac.uk/study/resear... Supervised by @lilianlieber.bsky.social @marinemicrobes.bsky.social @peterimiller.bsky.social & me!
Been a long cold day πŸ₯Ά, but following many hot cups of β˜•οΈ, kit has successfully been deployed πŸ’ͺ

Hopefully it holds out for the next 2 months or so, and captures some cool fishy data 🀞🀞 Watch this space! @dravowles.bsky.social
Thanks again to the fab team for all your hard work taking field measurements yesterday - doesn't seem like it was so cold now! πŸ’ͺ
It's #WorldFisheriesDay2024 🐟

Today we're on our way to site for #AtlanticSalmon monitoring fieldwork prep Day 3, and....it's snowing ❄️πŸ₯Ά Wish us luck! πŸ€ @dravowles.bsky.social
Best officially make the jump from the other place and write my first πŸ’™β˜οΈ post!

Today I've been scouting for potential #AtlanticSalmon spawning sites with @dravowles.bsky.social - hopefully some 🐟 updates to follow soon, provided the local livestock lets us leave the field... πŸ‘
