Inaugural tweet of FISHES! An initiative weaving #genomics, #fisheries science + #Indigenous knowledge across northern Canada to address socio-economic challenges + opportunities related to #foodsecurity in commercial, recreational + subsistence fisheries. Funded by Genome Canada

FISHES community and beyond: consider submitting an abstract to this session, co-organized by two of our own! @BernosThais @SNMichaelides.

Have you ever wondered where Arctic Char spend their winter?. In Nunavik, Inuit fishers paired up with fishery researchers to answer this burning question! .Full paper by @VroniqueDubos1 et al.: @inrsciences

In close collaboration with members of the Cree Nation of Mistissini, our team (@Hyungbae_Jeon, @thefraserlab) has done tons of work about Lake Trout genomics in Mistassini Lake over the years. @BernosThais summarized it in a comic.

So you want to go to grad school (or do more grad school)? This looks like a great project in a great lab!.

We had an amazing week talking with Elders and community members of the Cree Nation of Mistissini. Thankful for the knowledge that was shared, the stories, the laughters, and the delicious food. @thefraserlab @SNMichaelides @badrouyk @BernosThais, Nicole Yu, Julie Gibelli

And some of it results from ongoing work using low-coverage whole-genome-sequencing data by our former postdoc and genomics guru @Hyungbae_Jeon.

Part of this research was published in 2017 ( and has already been presented to the communities. .

We've been very busy synthesizing our work to feed discussions with communities, a vital part of our partnership! #twoeyedseeing

Results from a mixed-stock analysis conducted by Julie Gibelli of @thefraserlab.

It’s oh-#fish-ial: the spawning season is over for #Walleye. That's what Cree fishers said, and they know the Walleye very well—including where they spawn! Using genetics, we reconstructed the proportional contribution of these spawning regions. #Twoeyedseeing

So excited about three days filled with activities centered around #fish and #twoeyedseeing, including discussions, a Mistassini fish Trivia, and a Mistassini fish rap break! looking forward to being in the beautiful Cree community of Mistissini.
