Exciting times ahead as the Caribbean's newest otolith lab is batch processing its first couple hundred samples in the Turks and Caicos Islands, in partnership with @TCIG_Press & Fish Ageing Services Ltd, funded through Darwin Plus.
Watch this space!

Today's Caribbean fish is the French Grunt (Haemulon flavolineatum). The two here are competing for ranking in their group. This photo is great to see why the genus got the name "Haemulon", it comes from the Greek haimaleos = bloody in reference to the color inside their mouth.

Client satisfaction vs Ecological integrity
Knowledge vs Implementation of best practices
Some fascinating insights into the importance and overall potential of these recreational fishing role-models. Well done to @MattWFarthing and co-authors.

Congratulations to the authors of another very interesting paper entitled "Are recreational fishing guides role models for their clients?"

This is an ocean dwelling ribbon worm from the genus Gorgonorhynchus
What you can see being discharged is a sticky proboscis, this densely branching structure is a feeding appendage used in hunting.

Primary findings: Air exposure time should be reduced to below 75 s, and ideally to 10 s to minimise the physiological stress response, reflex impairment and short-term survival of
A. japonicus following C&R angling.
Congratulations to these authors!

Interesting that so much #conservation research & effort focuses on changing behavior of poor people who rely on #wildlife, yet comparatively little is done on changing behavior of the super-affluent. How do we make ‘sufficiency’ the new ‘rich’? #degrowth theconversation.com/affluenc…

#COVID19 is hurting fishing communities globally. But interestingly, local fish markets in Kenya are flourishing. China was once the main supplier, now buyers prefer local fish over imports. Read more in this @TBTInetwork article: toobigtoignore.net/sailing-i… #smallscalefisheries

"In the past 10 years, DEFF has lost around 80% of its fish scientists who were, and still are, among the best in the world. They now simply don’t have the human resources to cope with a complex and rapidly evolving climate and other enironmental issues.." conservationaction.co.za/med…
