Imaging Sonar Reveals Diel Movement of Fish Throughout a Developed Australian Estuary - Estuaries and Coasts Estuaries present a unique interface between ocean and freshwater systems and support key fish habitats. While the role of estuaries for juvenile fish has been studied extensively, the daily movement ...

If you're a bit tired of bad news (like I am), know this:

Imaging sonar has shown almost 50 TONS of fish moving in an out of an estuary, every HOUR. They do this more at night during the day, probably to hide from predators.

🌱 Hello to everyone interested in extracting seed measurements from images! 🌱

I’ve released an experimental version of Traitor, featuring a new option requested by some users: ordered output to keep track of individual seeds during analysis.

Trump’s climate skepticism could hurt military operations Proposals to “dismantle” NOAA and roll back energy efforts pose “a huge risk,” said one expert.

Dismantling NOAA is a terrible idea for many reasons, including the risks it would pose to US national security, as I told Defense One in this piece.

Yay! Happy to share our latest work: Machine Learning Applications for Fisheries—At Scales from Genomics to Ecosystems.

This work is collaboration of the ICES Working Group on Machine Learning in Marine Science. Tbh, it took a long time to write, but was totally worth it.

Looks can be deceiving – and this is especially true for sea angels. These deep-sea snails, seemingly graceful, are fierce predators. Using hook-like appendages, they pull prey from shells, consuming up to 500 sea butterflies each hunting season! 🌊🦋

Thanks so much for making this. May I please be added? 🙏 Looking forward to following all the exciting work 😃

Great to see so many marine scientists already on Bluesky - to help get you find some of them here is a starting list list of a few marine biologists

If you want to be added (or deleted), or know other I have missed (many for sure) - just contact me and I'll sort it

It's #FunFactFriday! Did you know that Bowhead Whales get their name from the bow that shoots arrow (as opposed to bows on bday presents!)?
Their bow shaped mouth is the largest mouth of any animal in the world and is almost a third of the length of their body!
