The IFM is hosting a webinar on 8th May 2026, titled: “Modern Tools for Fisheries Management: eDNA and Stable Isotopes in Practice”. It will feature speaker Buffy Smith from The eDNA Consultancy and Dr Brian Hayden from Atomic Ecology. For more info: ifm.org.uk/events/moder...
Excited to share I've been awarded the @thefsbi.bsky.social PITF Outgoing Fellowship this year! I'll share more about my project & the research I'll be doing nearer the time (it's several months away though I'm already prepping) but I will say it's a very very VERY cool project 😎🦈
New paper out!
Beyond #eDNA potential—this work a major collaborative effort and brings out several key lessons learned from applying #eDNA for monitoring diadromous fish-what works, what needs caution. @thefsbi.bsky.social #JFB onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... @azti.bsky.social #SeaLamprey
The Journal of Fish Biology is publishing a Special Issue reflecting the theme of this year’s FSBI Symposium: Breaking Siloes in Fish Biology! Now open for submissions, with papers to be made available as early view from acceptance. For further information, please visit: bit.ly/4trMdnD

We shared the work by done Love The Oceans, supported by #FSBIOutreachGrant, launching a gender inclusive Ocean School for adults in Jangamo, Mozambique, which also involved the translation of an ocean literacy book (Ocean Anatomy by Julia Rothman) to Mozambican Portuguese, providing further legacy

Do you work with eDNA or are you interested in its applications? IFM are organising a FREE event in Bristol: "Applied uses of eDNA in Aquatic Systems". Guest speaker Buffy Smith (eDNA Consultancy). You can register for the event, here: ifm.org.uk/events/sw-br...
New paper 🐟📈📉📏🌡️!
Super happy to see this paper led by JM Matte out!
We analyzed 50 years of juvenile Atlantic salmon data (Miramichi & Restigouche Rivers, Can) to test how size-at-age has changed and what’s driving it.

Jaws of a shark or ray
Hello community!
Who fancies trying to identify the species (genus or family would do as well) to which the portrayed jaws belonged???

Fish folk - have you ever heard of old (18thC) name Mylwell or Melvell?🐟 @oceanspast.bsky.social @thefsbi.bsky.social @projectfishistory.bsky.social @leafyhistory.bsky.social
Apparently sometimes applied to cod, but not in this context (as named alongside, along with ling, conger, hake and bream)
Very excited to have picked up a signed copy of #ASkyFullOfKites from Tom Bowser of @argatyredkites.bsky.social and had a good chat about invasive fish with @thefsbi.bsky.social at #SNSC2026! 🐟🦫
In rural Mozambique women face systemic barriers in ocean spaces. With FSBI’s support, Love The Oceans' Ocean School empowered women with ocean literacy, building inclusive ocean governance to better protect marine habitats #OceanLiteracy #Lovetheoceans #GenderEquity #Conservation
Great to see NoWPaS in full swing at Hólar University, Iceland! An amazing event, bringing together ECRs from both sides of the Atlantic, and beyond, at a crucial time for salmonids. The FSBI has long supported NoWPaS and it's great to see Joris Philip (FSBI PhD) sharing the FSBI's other benefits!
