🔥🤿 We combined flight initiation distance with post-flight responses and spearfishers' efficiency to better predict catchability and improve #fishery management💡 🐟Very proud of this paper!! https://t.co/GBNK73zNhU @JAppliedEcology @ICMCSIC @iMARES_group

🚀 Today kicks off the course: "Accessible & intuitive tools for spatio-temporal Bayesian species distribution models" Led by experts from @iMARES_group, bridging marine ecology & open science. #BayesianModelling @ICMCSIC

Thanks to collaboration with recreational fishers we documented the first case of betanodavirus in the dusky grouper of Catalonia in 2025. We hope the spread will not cause mass mortality, especially in MPA where abundance is high. @ICMCSIC

Our last contribution exploring how fisheries-induced evolution might be driven (or not) by epigenetic mechanisms in gonads. @laiaribas2 @RArlinghausFish @ICMCSIC @iMARES_group

🧵 Did you know fishers have ecological memory? In this thread, we explore how their lived experience helps us understand the past (and future!) of fishing in the Mediterranean 🐟🌊 #SustainableFishing @ICMCSIC #Miquel Ortega

🔬 Can size-selective fishing drive evolutionary changes in fish? In our latest study using zebrafish, we explored harvesting larger individuals affects molecular markers related to reproduction and epigenetics after 13 generations.@ValeSbra @ICMCSIC https://t.co/A5spUa5bCu

🐟🔥 The sea is warming… and that’s changing what we catch and how much it’s worth. 📊 In the NW Mediterranean, we analyzed 23 years of data to understand how climate change is reshaping fisheries. #ClimateChange #Fisheries #Mediterranean @ICMCSIC @LuciaEspasandin

🚨Paper alert! 🐟 What do young Atlantic bluefin tuna eat in the Mediterranean? 📍 We studied their diet in the Gulf of Valencia over 30 years. 🔍 Have their habits changed? Are they affecting sardines and anchovies? 👇 Let’s dive in! @ICMCSIC #BluefinTuna #MedSea #MarineScience

1️⃣ What do fish do when they see a human underwater? We studied how white seabream (Diplodus sargus) react when approached by a snorkeler or a spearfisher. Do they flee sooner when alone or in a group? 🤿 #MarineScience #OceanLife @ICMCSIC @ValeSbra

Happy to participate to the upcoming WRFC and deliver a keynote on how we are integrating classic and emerging approaches for monitoring and research in recreational fishing @iMARES_group @ICMCSIC @DPE_CSIC @CSICdivulga

🎓 Last Friday at @iMARES_group we held our #TFMday! A great opportunity for our MSc students to share the research they’ve been working on these past months. Here's a short thread with their work 👇 @ICMCSIC

🐠Què pretén investigar el projecte HumanFear? Com es comporten els peixos davant la presència humana? @ValeSbra @ICMCSIC https://t.co/0aYb3XQ8hJ

Feliz de empezar esta aventura para descubrir nuevos patrones de comportamientos que caracterizan la relación peces-humanos! @iMARES_group @elportdelaselva @DPE_CSIC @CSIC @CSICdivulga @AgEInves @CSICCat

👀 Are fish afraid of us? The #HumanFear project, led by @ValeSbra investigates if activities like snorkeling and recreational spearfishing 🤿 alter fish behavior and, at the same time, the dynamics of marine ecosystems. + info: https://t.co/HldMCC4QbL @ICMCSIC

🎧 Listen to @LuciaEspasandin discuss how Mediterranean warming is affecting fish catches on the Catalan coast! 🐟🌡️ She explains the decline in traditional species like sardines and hake, and the economic impact on fishing fleets. @ICMCSIC @tarragonaradio Full Interview ⬇️

🚨Today marks the kick-off meeting of the HumanFear project! This exciting 2024-2027 project explores how human presence underwater affects fish behavior. Stay tuned for updates! #MarineScience @ICMCSIC @CienciaGob @EU_Commission @elportdelaselva @parcscat @ValeSbra
