After three major dumps of snow, it was time to move the lab vehicles so that the grounds crew could plow our section of parking lot.

Well, we finally got our new Trident ROV to help us with doing sculpin and crayfish counts as part of our Mysis recolonization experiment (SHRRIMP).

Our ecosystem restoration project focused on the recolonization of Mysis is officially underway. We successfully managed to capture 10,000 Mysis from Lake 224 and add them to Lake 223.

Kudos to the brave members of the lab (including honorary members) who braved the chunky ice for a solid game of shinny out on Lake Tamblyn!

Some great things happening in CEELAB to kick off 2018. First, we welcome Liset Cruz Font who is doing a postdoc with WCS Canada and Constance O'Connor examining movement of Lake Sturgeon in the far north, and Nicole Turner, investigating Walleye movement ecology in Lake Winnipeg in collaboration with Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

We have a whack of new lab members starting in Sept 2017! Welcome to Andrew Milling, Kyle Stratton (joining us as an MSc student after completing his BSc thesis with us), Cam Leitrants (co-supervised with Rob Mackareth, OMNR) and Hannah Hancock (Orillia, co-supervised with Nanda Kanavilli).

Interested in sturgeon movement ecology? Research in Northern Ontario? Looking for a postdoc? Follow this link for more details on an opportunity to explore this and more in our lab in collaboration with the Wildlife Conservation Society of Canada.

Congratulations to all our students winning major scholarships this year. Sarah Warrack was awarded an NSERC CGS-M,  Victoria Langen was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Graduate Scholarship (OGS), and Graydon McKee, Marissa Wegher and Kyle Stratton all received North Shore Superior Awards.
