Delighted to spend yesterday with @EnvAgencyMids & @UniOfHull at #SevernHam tagging #TwaiteShad as part of @SevernUnlocked. Great to see the tangible benefit the project brings first hand as these beauties make their way upstream to spawn.

Faced with barriers to migration, how do animals respond? We found that some sea lamprey stay put downstream of weirs, and others wander substantial distances. In our new paper we examine the patterns, causes and consequences of this variation https://t.co/t6bEAf84k9

A project ~5y in development but on site <6h to remove 1.3m high & 9m wide weir and >100y of river fragmentation. Opened ~11km to free #fishpassage & #geomorphology

Tagged sea lamprey struggling to pass weirs in the Severn during their upstream spawning migration. A typical fate for migratory fish in our fragmented river systems, often occurring out of sight (+out of mind?). Read the full story in our new paper here https://t.co/1y3TUhx6s9

Well this is exciting, my very first article has been published! Check it out if you’re interested in tagging effects and how size of smolts influence outmigration estimates. Thank you for a great collaboration @kwvollset @FisheriesRobert @ErlendMHanssen and more.
We consistently find that tagged salmon migrate earlier than untagged (see https://t.co/x4EwyIFh9f).
@MagnusHulbak figured out why! https://t.co/eyMXj77uC5. Larger fish migrates earlier - so if you have size limit of how small salmon you tag you get a biased outmigration date.

Lovely to see the first run of Twaite shad last week on the Severn. These are a rare freshwater herring which really struggle with barriers to migration. @SevernUnlocked @severnrivers @ninaconstable @BBCSpringwatch

On #MayDay let's celebrate the amazing #MayFish migration! This year's #SevernShadRun is even more special - shimmering #TwaiteShad can swim past Victorian weirs in Worcester for the 1st time in nearly 180 years! #FollowTheShad #RiverSevern @severnrivers

I leave @severnrivers in a couple of months, I am asking on those who live, work or play on the Severn to kindly help raise funds for to help this mighty river and its wildlife. Please spread the word https://t.co/0V0vopNtHL

Had a great week tagging twaite shad on the Severn, and am excited to find out where they go and what they get up to across the next three years! #ShadSevern #SevernShadRun

Salmon are very capable jumpers & swimmers but they also have major problems passing Annacotty weir. This ornamental weir delays their migration. They can suffer injuries & all waste valuable energy. Many do not make it upstream. Please sign the petition: https://t.co/kBjs64TYNg

new paper out today on fishway efficiency. What makes a fishway efficient? More importantly, can we all agree on the best methods to answer that question? #fishsci #fishways #fishpassage
