IBIS project - A partnership between the Loughs Agency, Queen's University Belfast, and the University of Glasgow, supported by the EU's INTERREG IVA Programme, managed by the SEUPB. We are delivering across four outcomes - research, training, knowledge transfer and capacity building - that are critical to the improvement and sustainability of aquatic resources management in Ireland, Northern Irel

and and Scotland. The Ferox Project

Although there is a long history between man and ferox, we still know very little about these iconic fish. Their elusive nature within a lake and the specialised techniques required to catch them are two of the main reasons for such a lack of information. Pioneering work by Ron Campbell and the Ferox 85 group and organisations such as the Queens University Belfast have elevated the status of ferox and helped intensify the debate whether ferox are genetically distinct from other brown trout or are simply large brown trout which have adopted a piscivorous lifestyle and reach large dimensions. The aim of this project is to increase our understanding of ferox trout by combining the knowledge and skills of angler and scientist alike. By sharing photographs of ferox caught from lochs and loughs in Scotland and Ireland we can build up a better picture of ferox trout populations. Scale packets can also be posted to

Something a bit different...from evolution of fish in Glasgow to mental health in Australia.

#045 - In this episode we meet Marty, originally from Scotland, who came to Australia as a Science university lecturer then moved on to the independent school, Skillset Senior College in Bathurst, NSW. This school is an alternative to those kids who may not 'fit in' with mainstream high schools, for whatever reason. Marty and his team are doing a great job with these kids, particularly with his research project on mental health, ensuring they have an opportunity to finish their schooling and in some cases go on to further education.
