Final chapter of my PhD is “Just in”
@canjzoology.bsky.social. We tested how different parasites can affect swim performance in pumpkinseed sunfish through physiological or drag-induced effects! Check it out 🐟

Raby lab retreat this week at Harkness Lab of Fisheries Research was a great success!

Thanks to the ghost of F.E.J. Fry for writing inspiration 👻🐟

SEB starts next week in Antwerp! Join us at our session on "Vulnerability of early life stages to stressors" (A14) with an incredible lineup of talks, posters and guest speakers! 🐣

Session starts Tuesday at 4:00 PM in Gorilla 3! 🦍

See you there! ✌️

Hey you! Yes...you!
You study early life stages? You like multiple taxa? You should consider presenting in our session: Vulnerability and adaptations of early life stages to environmental stressors (A14).

🚨Deadline : March 7th 🚨

See you at the #SEBCONFERENCE in Antwerp!✌️

Big shout out to the FIN club who made this accomplishment possible! It was a pleasure working with you all <3 This is FIN club paper #12!

Keep your eyes peeled for more fish science coming this year!

Although certain shallow water species showed rapid acclimation, the goldsinny wrasse, found in deeper water, had the highest acclimation capacity (ARR). For each degree increase in acclimation temperature, they gained the most thermal tolerance.

We found no strong differences in CTmax between adult and juvenile zebrafish, but CTmin was generally higher in juveniles, albeit following a similar acclimation pattern than adults. Both life stages showed a longer t induction to lower tolerance (>24h) compared to upper tolerance (3h).

Acclimation dynamics patterns differed among species, as some reached full acclimation (t steady) as fast as 4 days, such as the zebrafish, European flounder and three-spined stickleback. Whereas the goldsinny wrasse did not seem fully acclimated after 10 days.

We measured CTmax and/or CTmin in 4 species and 2 life stages of zebrafish across multiple acclimation durations to a warm treatment. This allowed us to detect fast changes in thermal tolerance across time.

Hey all! I’m Jay. I’m an ecophysiologist interested in the thermal biology of fishes (and how parasites play a role in it). Wrapping up my PhD in the Binning lab at Université de Montréal! 😏

I did a couple CTmax tests during my PhD. I have a son (🐈) and a baby sister (🐶). Big Pokémon fan here!
