Well done to all entrants. It’s not easy!
#ASFB2024 is my first ever conference, where I also presented my honours research on freshwater fishes and amphibians on Australia's islands. The conference was amazing, and cheers to all the great fish people that were there 🍻🐟

Just wrapped up a week of #comms work with some great fishy people at #ASFB2024
For what it's worth, my top #fish encounter since moving to #Australia is this Broad Cowtail Stingray (Pastinachus ater) in *very* shallow water at #FlorenceBay on #Yunbenun #MagneticIsland

Lovely photo, both #ASFB2024 talks went down really well here in #Newcastle. We're all looking forward to working with you as #student rep, Arieli 😊🐟
Lots discussed and decided at our #AGM at #ASFB2024, but nothing more important than approval of our plans for next year's conference...
Looking forward to #ASFB2025 in the #NT!
Great talk by Loéva Martin-Podevin on our project using AI to monitor recreational fishing facilities in NSW @austsocfishbiol.bsky.social #ASFB2024
Loéva Martin-Podevin showing us how AI can be used to survey recreational fishing in New South Wales. Really cool approach to a very complicated issue @austsocfishbiol.bsky.social #asfb2024
Thanks @asfbc.bsky.social for having me! #ASFB2024
@krisfish.bsky.social introducing the million dollar question about long term trends in sea cucumber fisheries in the great barrier reef. @austsocfishbiol.bsky.social #asfb2024.
It's so great that speakers at #ASFB2024 are not just talking about fish, fish passage and the social and indigenous interaction with fish and fisheries, but there are talks on AI and Machine Learning methods to bring new knowledge and Management in this space. Nerd coolness at its best!
