Poisonous or venomous? The difference comes down to delivery. Venoms are injected through bites, spines, or barbs, while poisons cause harm when they are eaten, inhaled, absorbed, or touched. Our latest Fish Report explores how these toxins show up across fish and aquatic wildlife, from lionfish and catfish to pufferfish and blue-ringed octopi.

Fish may not be the first animals that come to mind when you think of venom, but recent evidence suggests nearly 3,000 fish species are venomous. That makes fish, not snakes, the largest group of venomous vertebrates.

Floodplain restoration looks different depending on the river. In this week’s Fish Report, we highlight three examples: the Big Notch Project in the Yolo Bypass, the Honolulu Bar Restoration project on the Stanislaus River, and process-based restoration on Butte Creek.

California’s Central Valley was once defined by seasonal wetlands, meandering rivers, riparian forests, and floodplains. Levees, channelization, agriculture, and historic mining changed how rivers move across the landscape. This week’s Fish Report explores what floodplains are, how they support juvenile salmon, and the restoration strategies being used to reconnect and rebuild them.

A unique building of our own!

In 2011, FISHBIO relocated to our current office in Oakdale, California. The move came with a fresh FISHBIO-blue paint job and a custom landscape designed to resemble a river habitat, complete with native plants and fish metalwork.

The office's distinctive look reflects the same philosophy that guides our work: thoughtful, personalized solutions tailored to each challenge. Bringing that vision to life required the dedication of many team members, including Field Coordinator Ben, who has spent years caring for the landscape, coordinating seasonal plantings, harvesting produce, and creating goods in the kitchen. His hands-on efforts have helped transform the office into a reflection of FISHBIO's mission.

Understanding why juvenile salmon die during migration is critical for recovery, but teasing apart those causes can be complicated. This week’s Fish Report looks at how simulation-based telemetry study planning can help researchers evaluate sample size, detection efficiency, predation, environmental factors, and other variables before a project begins.
