#fieldwork sometimes means collecting #acoustictelemetry receivers by #scubadiving and having surprise visitors. Like this male lumpfish! 🐟😍 Did you know that males protect egg nests of up to 140,000 eggs until they hatch?! #funfactfriday #IceFishResearch #ResearchLife #Iceland
IceFishResearch is following the current trend and is joining the other site 💙🐟

Did you know there are 4 morphs (types) of Arctic charr in Thingvallavatn?
It’s the same fish but very different in size, colour & what they eat 🐟
Stay tuned for more posts on Arctic charr as many researchers are interested in studying them all over Iceland🇮🇸

#IceFishResearch #PhDone
Thank you to everyone who attended our event at the Icelandic Museum of Natural History! We had a great afternoon.
Last Sunday we organised the event “Fiskar og vísindi” where people could learn more about different 🐟 in Iceland and see what kind of research is done on fish.
There were fishy crafts to be done, fish to fish, and things to learn about stickleback, fish bones and acoustic telemetry 🐟🐟
A special thanks to Ragnhildur Guðmundsdóttir, Hannes Arason, and Helga Aradóttir from the Icelandic Museum of Natural History and Guðbjörg Ósk Jónsdóttir and Kenedy Williams from the @Haskoli_Islands
Check out @liekeponsioen's PhD project (supervised by Kalina Kapralova & @geoviews)
60 Arctic charr have been tracked in Thingvallavatn to gain information about their whereabouts throughout the year.
