Podcasts about freshwater fish

Our Changing World heads to the Mackenzie region in the South Island to meet one of New Zealand's rarest fish – the lowland longjaw galaxias.   Dean Nelson, a senior biodiversity ranger at the Department of Conservation, has been looking out for these tiny fish for two decades.   Producer Karthic SS has this story, and he joins Dean during one of his monitoring trips at a place called Fraser Stream, near Twizel. 

Speckled, pencil-thin and sporting an underbite: the lowland longjaw galaxias is New Zealand's rarest freshwater fish species. With just seven known populations, this species is considered nationally endangered. Join producer Karthic SS at a spring-fed stream in the wild Mackenzie Basin to meet the tiny fish, hear from a researcher studying trout-proof barriers, and chat to a ranger who for 20 years has cared for the little fish he calls 'Jaws'.

Tap here to send us a message!Stocky Galaxias, or 'Stocky', is one of Australia's most critically endangered species — a tiny fish hidden away in the pristine alpine waters of Kosciuszko National Park.Can the survival of this elusive, critically endangered species illuminate the future of Australia's rivers? In this conversation we discuss efforts to save Stocky from the devastating 2019/2020 Black Summer bushfires and the subsequent rallying of agencies and community groups to protect, conserve, and re-home this special little fish to ensure its survival for future generations. Dr. Siwan Lovett and long-time freshwater fish conservationist and researcher Dr. Mark Lintemans invite you on a journey through the challenges and breakthroughs in conserving this remarkable species. From the thrill of discovering a previously unknown new population, to the innovative strategies that blend natural and artificial solutions for habitat protection, this episode is packed with insights into the delicate balance of river ecosystems, invasive fish, community collaboration and conservation strategies.We take a deep dive into the ongoing efforts to safeguard species like the Galaxiids and Macquarie perch while respecting the interests of recreational fishing. You'll hear how barriers, riparian vegetation, and even shifts in attitudes among trout enthusiasts are contributing to a new paradigm in fisheries management. These changes are essential to maintaining the health of aquatic ecosystems and ensuring that both native and introduced species can coexist.Finally, we discuss the urgent issue of genetic diversity, a key factor in the resilience of fish populations against climate change. Discover how genetic research is transforming conservation strategies, with new approaches like cross-breeding and relocation aimed at boosting the genetic health of species under threat. Our conversation extends to the broader picture of Australia's freshwater fish crisis, highlighting the pressing need for comprehensive conservation efforts.If you enjoyed this episode, please consider leaving a rating and review wherever you listen to your podcasts.✉️ Subscribe to our newsletter (no spam, we promise!) to keep up with new episodes of the show!

Did Noah have to bring two of every sea creature on the ark? No, sea creatures could survive in the water, but what about freshwater fish?

Watch the documentary All Too Clear for FREE: https://www.tvo.org/series-docsThis week on Outdoor Journal Radio, Ang and Pete are joined by Yvonne Drebert and Zach Melnick of Inspired Planet Productions to discuss their latest documentary which is giving the Planet Earth treatment to some of our favourite freshwater gamefish.First, however, a bit of housekeeping was in order. Topics discussed included: intelligent fishing pressure; Al Lindner; what we can learn from Americans about Canadian bass fishing; unlocking a fishery; Superbowl Champions; and spooky fishing stories.With those matters out of the way, Zach and Yvonne join the show! Topics discussed included: filming freshwater ecosystems; why saltwater fish get all the attention; seeing your favourite fish in a new light; predators co-existing with prey; how underwater drones work; the problem with Quagga mussels; why Great Lakes lake trout are doing better than ever; Round Gobbies; the collapse of Lake Whitefish; and much more!More from Angelo and Pete:► WEBSITE► FACEBOOK► INSTAGRAM► YOUTUBEThank you to the sponsors of today's episode!- The Invasive Species Centre: Protecting Canada's land and water from invasive species- SAIL: The Ultimate Destination for your Outdoor Adventures

What is the largest fish caught in British freshwaters and are they dangerous? This episode is about a huge creature that lived in Martin Mere that was said to feed on swans!  Some of the podcast is rather silly but all of it true.There is a Slightly boring opening about geological features, folklore and drainage systems, this lasts about five minutes, so maybe  skip that part.  As usual please be warned this is a lo fi production by someone that often stumbles over words and records in one take without any editing.CFZ have a facebook site 

"The other big hard problem in philosophy is time. And I felt, you know, who better to lead me in this exploration than turtles, who live in some cases for centuries, who've been around...they arose with dinosaurs, yet they survived the asteroid impact. They are the embodiment of patience and wisdom. It's wonderful having an animal recognize you and be interested in you really acknowledges the animal in me. And that's the oldest, most sacred part of me, as far as I'm concerned."Author Sy Montgomery and illustrator Matt Patterson are naturalists, adventurers, and creative collaborators.

So she watched the ants crawl on the asphalt roof of her apartment when she was a kid. And she is a biologist now who studies tree kangaroos in Papua New Guinea, but it all started with watching ants. So there is wildness and wonder all around us and we can all help preserve that wildness and wonder. It makes a human feel less lonely. So many humans I know, they're just suffering terribly from loneliness even though they're in a sea of other humans. Well, I never feel lonely. And I can be alone, so-called, in a landscape with no other human anywhere, and I feel nested and safe and at home. And I know you do, too, because there are all these other lives around us. And when you think of, as Mary Oliver said, 'our wild and precious life,' I mean, I certainly cherish my one precious single life.

"A friend had asthma as a child, and she couldn't have a pet, but she loved animals. So she watched the ants crawl on the asphalt roof of her apartment when she was a kid. And she is a biologist now who studies tree kangaroos in Papua New Guinea, but it all started with watching ants. So there is wildness and wonder all around us and we can all help preserve that wildness and wonder. It makes a human feel less lonely. So many humans I know, they're just suffering terribly from loneliness even though they're in a sea of other humans. Well, I never feel lonely. And I can be alone, so-called, in a landscape with no other human anywhere, and I feel nested and safe and at home. And I know you do, too, because there are all these other lives around us. And when you think of, as Mary Oliver said, 'our wild and precious life,' I mean, I certainly cherish my one precious single life. But the life with a capital L all around me is so much more precious and so much more glorious, and being part of that just opens up my soul and frees me from everything."Author Sy Montgomery and illustrator Matt Patterson are naturalists, adventurers, and creative collaborators.

A new report dives into concerning findings of forever chemicals in freshwater fish nationwide and in the Carolinas. KFF Health published a report in USA Today that says many states aren't warning residents of the toxic chemicals present in waterways and fish. According to the article, North Carolina is one of the 17 states that does notify people, and it's for good reason. There are concerning levels of PFAS, or forever chemicals, found in the Carolinas' rivers and fish. The report cites a national study from about 10 years ago that found catfish in the Catawba River had high levels of forever chemicals.  "It ain't like it used to be," fisherman Jeff Rudisill said to WCNC Charlotte. "You used to come over here and catch a bunch of fish and cook ‘em and eat ‘em, you can't do that anymore," he said before fishing on the Catawba River.  Read more: https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/health/toxic-forever-chemicals-freshwater-fish-regional/275-37bf132f-6026-4b1c-b549-484b116c1bba Watch Wake Up Charlotte each weekday morning from 4:30 to 7 a.m. on WCNC Charlotte, and as always, join the conversation on social media using #WakeUpCLT!Wake Up Charlotte To Go is a daily news and weather podcast you can listen to so you can start your day with the team at Wake Up Charlotte.  SUBSCRIBE: Apple Podcasts || Spotify || Pandora || TuneIn || Google Podcasts || iHeart All of WCNC Charlotte's podcasts are free and available for both streaming and download.

National Geographics Monster Fish TV hosts Zeb Hogan and Stefan Lovgren have just released their new book, Chasing Giants, In Search of the World's Largest Freshwater Fish. Zeb Hogan is a research biologist at the University of Nevada, an advisor to the UN Convention of Migratory Species, and our guest on The Blue Fish Radio Show. Zeb's adventures around the world researching and filming over 30 one-hour specials for Nat-Geo TV have both amazed viewers world-wide and identified the five most common threats to the world's largest freshwater fishes. A scientist and TV host who enjoys fishing as much as he does researching fish, Zeb has probably checked off every fish on the bucket list.

“My life goal is to get our governments to understand that Indigenous sovereignty and freshwater fish futures are completely linked.”In this episode, we welcome Dr. Zoe Todd, who invites us to think alongside a critical lens of Indigenous fish philosophy and examine relationships between Indigenous sovereignty and fish well-being in Canada. By asking how we can learn with fish as they “listen with their whole being,” Zoe prompts discussions on compassionate listening, the fundamental link between the future of fish wellbeing and Indigenous sovereignty worldwide, and their relationship with art as research practice.Tune in as we swim in waters of critical attunement to our wider ecological entanglements, as inspired by Zoe's devotion to fish as companions of care.Music credit: Spirit House RecordsSupport our work: Patreon.com/greendreamer

Let's face it - some of the most beautiful fish look plain and boring at your local fish store. It's not until you bring them home, condition them, and spoil them, that they truly shine. Some species go from brown and dull to bright and illuminating in the right conditions! Others are shy and evasive, until you allow them to settle in at home and suddenly they're bold and confident! This episode is all about the overlooked favorites that can become incredible if you take the time to condition them. What fish have you kept that only got better with time?

A plan by oil giant ConocoPhillips to drill in Alaska on federal land is poised to move ahead if it can secure President Biden's final consent. The Willow project would dump millions of tons of climate disrupting carbon into the atmosphere over its lifetime and pose risks to the health of nearby Alaska Native communities and biological diversity. Also, PFAS “forever” chemicals have widespread health impacts from cancers to reproductive disorders. A recent study revealed high levels of PFAS in wild-caught, American freshwater fish commonly eaten by people. And Black women often use hair relaxers and leave-in conditioners to straighten and smooth their textured hair. But many of these products contain hormone-disrupting chemicals, which are associated with such health problems as early menarche, preterm birth, diabetes, and cancer. -- Join us for our next Living on Earth Book Club event!

Moyle & California Trout Chair, shares his efforts to preserve the freshwater environments of California. Many species rely on the unique environments offered in the California landscape. One of the most prominent wildlife groups is freshwater fish, which has faced conservation challenges for much of recent history. With a booming population and agriculture industry, conservation efforts may not be as effective as many would like. However, with an improving understanding of these freshwater environments, population reduction may be slowed, and the unique groups of fish that rely on such bodies can continue to be protected.
