    369 - Identifying Individual Fish from Angler Photos with Sam Chasse

    On this weeks episode Brendan is joined by Sam Chasse, a M.Sc Candidate from the University of Winnipeg with past guest Dr. Hasler!  He's been working on a super cool project that involves Musky, machine learning, and angler photos. Tune in to learn how Sam and the team at the University of Winnipeg built a system to identify individuals in angler photos from the Master Angler Program in Manitoba.  They discuss the challenges and benefits of this technique, and what it could mean for future behaviour studies and fisheries assessments!   Manitoba Master Angler Program - https://anglers.travelmanitoba.com/   Get in touch with us!

    368 - Turning Passion into Purpose: Morgan Cleary's Unconventional Journey into Shark Research

    Morgan Cleary's path to becoming a shark researcher wasn't defined by luck—it was built through hard work, determination, and an unwavering passion for marine science. From working three jobs to create opportunities that would shape her future to unforgettable days studying sharks in the field, Morgan's story is a reminder that chasing your dreams is rarely easy, but it's always worth it. In this episode of The Fisheries Podcast, we dive into the experiences that shaped her career, the mentors who helped guide her, the value of internships and graduate school, and the lessons she's learned along the way. We also discuss her research using nurse shark blood to monitor contaminants in coastal waters and how sharks can serve as important indicators of ecosystem health. Whether you're pursuing a career in science, fascinated by sharks, or simply chasing a dream of your own, this conversation is sure to leave you inspired.

    Episode 365 - GEN-FISH and using eDNA for phylogeography with Dr. Matthew Yates

    On this weeks episode Brendan connects with Dr. Matthew Yates to talk about his work on GEN-FISH, a massive collaboration of researchers, professionals, and community-members who collectively worked to determine the location and abundance of Canada’s 200+ freshwater fish species, and measure how they are performing in the face of increasing (mostly human-caused) stressors.   Dr. Yates discusses the who, what, when, where, and why of GEN-FISH, how the work is being used to help better manage fisheries in Canada, and some of the amazing things they've discovered doing the work.  Included in this is the use of eDNA for phylogeography in Canada, and the use of long amplicon markers (and what exactly those are).   Get in touch with us!
