My grandpa was the first person to introduce me to fish and fishing, and that eventually led me to a career in fisheries. I always enjoy any chance I get to take him fishing, and this giant bluegill he caught was the highlight from a trip a few years ago! #WorldFisheriesDay #52FishyFridays 🐟🐠🎣

Team fish - we need your help! We are trying to build a database of all the fish chromosome-scale genomes where sex chromosomes have been identified. Have you build one or some? Do you know someone who has? Can you post the link in the comments? Please spread the word and repost! Thank you!

Trying to clean up my photo storage recently and came across this photo from several winters ago. This is still one of my favorites, from one of many days trout fishing with my dog in northeast Nevada.

Low-quality video of a shortnose gar in honor of high-quality #garweek. This fish was spotted in the Grand River (MI) during the @amfisheriessoc.bsky.social meeting in 2023, which also happened to be the same week I met @solomonrdavid.bsky.social for the first time! #52FishyFridays 🐟🐠

Hey Gar (and other toothy fish) enthusiasts, my lab group is looking for length, weight and location data for alligator gar and emerald/eyetail bowfin from across their range for a study. If you have any, can you share? #GarWeek

I had the incredible opportunity to stock some fish by plane this week! Shown here is ~80 pounds of small brook trout being dropped from the plane into a lake deep in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area for anglers to enjoy. #52FishyFridays 🐟🐠

It’s always amazing to me that so many endangered species have the word “common” in their name.

Really hammers home how quickly these conservation crises can arise. These animals were common as recently as when we were naming stuff!

Are there any cell/molec scientists I know out here who would be interested in being an external reviewer for a new degree program we're putting in for accreditation? Please DM me if you're interested. State requires reviewers to have a PhD.
