NEW STUDY: Contribution of invasive carp to fish biomass in rivers of the Murray–Darling Basin Schilling et al. analysed electrofishing data from 1994–2023 to estimate the median contribution of carp to fish biomass at  > 1,400 sites in the NSW portion. https://t.co/MQtLdQgNqX

NEW STUDY: Patterns in abundance, size and space-use of Giant Mud Crab (Scylla serrata) in a temperate marine protected area Hewitt et al. evaluate the impact of MPAs on S. serrata abundance, size, & space use in the Port Stephens-Great Lakes Marine Park. https://t.co/Ospau7nfVL

NEW PAPER: Kudoa are parasites that can cause myoliquefaction ("jellymeat") of muscle tissue in key fisheries species. We find the prevalence of Kudoa in swordfish increases in the region dominated by the East Australian Current & in the Austral summer. 🧵 https://t.co/ce4SZZr10Y

Feels so good to have this out in the world! Our latest paper examines the trends and drivers of Australian cownose ray aerial survey sightings in NSW. Check it out https://t.co/WCTXYZgo4B @urchinhunter @FabriceJaine @ht_schilling @amy_smoothey @fmaronp @mqnatsci

Stoked to receive the Gilbert P Whitley junior award for my talk at the joint #IPFC11 #ASFB fish conference at @AucklandUni. Had an awesome time presenting my research and meeting a great group of scientists. Thanks to @AustSocFishBiol for this incredible honour!

Fabulous image by Chris Sattler of the #RVInvestigator as we departed Sydney for our 24-day voyage into the Tasman Sea. Looking forward to sailing back into Sydney Harbour on 2 November! @CSIRO @UNSWScience @SydOperaHouse

The new species is named after the wonderful and brilliant @Diploprion, ichthyology collections manager at @AustmusResearch. 6/9

Sometimes we don't have all the quantitative data needed to inform climate vulnerability assessments. In this paper led by @curt_champ we use a MCA method to incorporate expert opinion with peer-reviewed information

🐟New paper out in @MethodsEcolEvol !🐟 We designed a new method ("predation domes") to test predator-prey interactions for marine fishes. 🔔Resumen en español en la página web https://t.co/mZa2vFz9gw

New Paper! Using a massive database we present long term trends in abundance, biomass and size structure for six key large-bodied species in the NSW Murray-Darling Basin https://t.co/KDYhzvzX36 @AustSocFishBiol Trends are presented at both the basin and valley scales!

I’ve always been suspicious that my sultanas weren’t evenly distributed in my cereal, and now I’ve proved it. For the last 8 boxes/packs of Sultana Bran, I’ve counted the sultanas in each bowl 🥣. Get ready for your mind to be blown! 👇🤯 #cereal #RStats

New study: Hayden Schilling et al. used otolith and morphological data to estimate the age and growth of tailor (P. saltatrix) in the south-western Pacific. These estimates were compared to other tailor populations worldwide. https://t.co/xLWmHzlGKp

Awesome new paper by @prawnhub___ showing how tidal cycles influence foraging of Mud crabs! @AustSocFishBiol

A new package to let colour blind people see all maps! Available in GitHub: https://t.co/HPxLVq7SWF Install it by: install.packages("devtools") devtools::install_github("ducciorocchini/cblindplot") And here is the description: https://t.co/mbhtAP2Efv

New short note w/ @ben_travaglini. We report the first Australian record of the invasive NZ estuarine snail Zeacumantus subcarinatus outside of Sydney, representing a 250km range extension. Surveys needed to detect geographically intermediate populations https://t.co/unZ0L4W4Z1

We have produced the most comprehensive ecological review of Gamay (Botany Bay) to date, identifying knowledge gaps & research opportunities. Read it > https://t.co/sYtlhFkcbU @SydneyMarine @IanPotterFdn @nswdpi @willfig @DR_GRIB @MartinaADoblin @DrKDafforn @DrWillGlamore

Shout out to everyone uploading plant photos to iNat; in the week since the paper came out, already 35 'unphotographed' species ticked off. Brings the total number ticked off since April last year to over 400! Keep digging through those hard drives! https://t.co/ZNg586CxJ9

New Study – Age and growth rates of tailor (aka bluefish) in eastern Australia with global comparison. Special paper as it’s the last one from my PhD. We show growth rates are globally similar but age structure of harvests vary greatly. @UNSWScience @ASFB https://t.co/EFdcWQ0hCa

New paper in @NewPhyt. Surely every Aussie plant species has been photographed at least once? Turns out a lot haven't! Of ~21,000 native species, 18% didn't have a field photo across 33 online resources. SE states are well-documented, WA has most gaps https://t.co/lRE7p9gGwf
