I've you've visited #SFU Burnaby campus recently you may have noticed that the AQ Reflection Pond fish are back from their annual health checkup! Thanks to the #SFUBioSci Aquatic Research Centre staff for taking such good care of them. #SFUScience #koi

#Ticks, and the diseases they carry, are a constant concern for anyone enjoying the outdoors. #SFUBioSci researchers developed a repellent that uses ant pheromones to repel ticks.

Warm weather means many of us will be spending a lot more time outdoors. Unfortunately it also means a higher risk encountering #ticks, which can carry #LymeDisease. #SFUBioSci researchers are exploring new solutions to repel these harmful critters. https://ow.ly/GBmM50ReCHe #SFUScience #pestcontrol #BritishColumbia #hiking

Congratulations to #SFUBPK student Erin Williams and #SFUBioSci student Soobin Yim for winning first place and runner-up at the #SFU Three Minute Thesis competition! #SFUScience #3MT

Help scientists track butterflies with your smartphone! #SFUBioSci professor John Reynolds explains how community science projects like Butterflies in My Backyard and #iNaturalist help conservationists understand where #butterflies gather and how to protect them. https://www.abbynews.com/local-news/butterflies-in-my-backyard-began-in-bc-but-going-national-for-2024-7336272 #SFU #SFUScience #conservation #communityscience #biology #ecology

There's something berry exciting about the prospect of growing fresh, local #BC #blueberries throughout the winter. #SFUBioSci professor Jim Mattsson is developing new varieties of blueberry plants suitable for vertical farming to extend the growing season year-round for farmers and consumers.

The silent extinction threat to deepwater #sharks and #rays https://www.forbes.com/sites/melissacristinamarquez/2024/03/07/the-silent-extinction-threat-to-deepwater-sharks-and-rays/?sh=5cfad49f65bc #SFUBioSci #SFU #SFUScience #sharks #MarineConservation #biology #fisheries

One in seven #sharks and rays are at risk of extinction due to overfishing, according to a major new international study. Sharks and #rays are often bycatch in commercial fisheries but are kept due to the value of their liver oil.

Rough sharks (Oxynotidae) are a small family of deepwater sharks consisting of five species. Three species are threatened with extinction from overfishing.

As glaciers melt, they expose new habitat for #salmon, but they also attract interest from mining companies. #SFUBioSci prof Jonathan Moore's research tracks this emerging conflict.

Tracking wild #salmon returns in real-time could help fisheries be more sustainable, but it hasn’t been possible—until now.

#SFU's Jiangchuan Liu and Jonathan Moore have teamed up with Pacific Salmon Foundation and partners to develop “salmonvision”—AI that can count wild salmon: https://www.sfu.ca/research/scholarly-impacts/salmonvision-ai-helps-ensure-health-wild-salmon #SFUScience #SFUBioSci #ecology #fisheries #conservation #aquaticecology #watershed

The Salty Science crew is on track to finish the World's Toughest row this weekend! For the past 37 days these four marine biologists including Isabelle Côté from #SFUBioSci and Lauren Shea from #UBCOcean have rowed 24 hours a day across the Atlantic Ocean to raise money for ocean conservation.
