My first published paper was about the effectiveness of getting dogfish shark diet data by making them puke instead of cutting them open. Very cool to see how much farther that idea has gone since then. 🦈🐟🦑🦤🧪

Happy Earth Day.

Here are a bunch of rainbow smelt from a Lake Michigan burbot stomach!

Nom nom nom!

I’m Kamden. I’m a fisheries biologist in Minnesota. I primarily work in fisheries management, including stocking and population monitoring. I also conduct research on population dynamics and trophic ecology, or as I like to call it, #fishpuke!

“Congratulations! I have recommended your manuscript…for publication…” Tough to beat that email first thing on a Monday morning! Excited to share this one, I think it’ll be useful to a lot of folks working with piscivore diets and other #fishpuke research! 🐟🐠🌎🧪

Had a great time talking muskellunge research and management with an area angling group last night! #fishpuke #SciComm 🐟🐠🎣

Finally transferred my old posts from The Old Place. For those that didn’t follow me there, here’s a thread outlining my first publication, looking at #fishpuke from predators in Minnesota lakes. #FishSci 🐟🐠🌎🧪
After looking at #fishpuke from nearly 3700 fish in #Minnesota lakes, what did we learn? Link to the paper below, and a short thread of some key findings

Friend caught a smallmouth bass and it coughed up a baby green heron. #fishpuke @kgladefishsci.bsky.social

We compared diets of four freshwater fish in Minnesota to see how muskellunge, a large predator stocked in many lakes, affect other popular species. We found that muskellunge diets were different from other species, mostly because they were able to eat larger prey! #fishpuke #TeamFish #FishSky 🐟🐠🌎🧪

Still recovering from a fantastic, albeit exhausting, week at #AFS155 and #BB2025! Guessing this Largemouth also needed some time to recover after we removed its most recent meal while conducting #fishpuke research a few years ago. #52FishyFridays 🐟🐠🌎

I present a bigmouth buffalo for long-lived fishes day of #GarWeek. Incidentally sampled while collecting #fishpuke on Pelican lake in western Minnesota #TeamFish #FishSky

New paper with some great coauthors, including a couple fantastic undergrads! We show evidence for relationships between fish length and bony structures that are resistant to digestion, and provide reference photos to identify fishes based on otolith shape. #fishpuke 🐟🐠🌎🧪

Only fitting that this week’s #52FishyFridays photo is a walleye, the state fish of Minnesota, after a fantastic MN chapter @amfisheriessoc.bsky.social meeting! This particular individual lost its lunch, a burbot, after entering the spawning trap last spring #fishpuke 🐟🐠

This took way too long, but I think this paper will be super useful for folks analyzing stomach contents of predator fish and other fish-eating critters. Give me a shout if you want the pdf! #fishpuke 🐟🐠🌎🧪

My advisor provides hard-cover copies of each student’s thesis after their successful defense, and this was the photo I selected for the cover of mine. Looking forward to a discussion about my thesis work on muskellunge and #fishpuke later today! #52FishyFridays 🐟🐠🎣

#FishPuke from this weekend during a trip to Voyageurs National Park. This smallmouth bass puked up a trout perch *with force* while I was unhooking it.

I subscribed to In-Fisherman as a kid and read every issue cover to cover. In college, an article about a catfish tracking study led to changing my major. Seeing my name and name photo in the latest issue is surreal!

One of the coolest things to happen to me at a @amfisheriessoc.bsky.social conference was having people I followed on Twitter respond “oh, you’re the #fishpuke guy!” after I introduced myself. 🐟🌎🧪

Fieldwork started this week with annual walleye spawning operations, but we got a little bonus #fishpuke as well from this walleye that couldn’t keep its meal down! 🐟 🧪 #TeamFish #FishSci

The fact that I broke my nose in middle school turned out to be a blessing for me in grad school, where I worked on a fish diet project. Kendra, my intern, was not so lucky! #fishpuke #TeamFish #FishSky #SciComm 🧪🌎🐟
