We recently caught, tagged, and released THREE endangered smalltooth sawfish inside #TampaBay! Learn more in the latest #SawfishNews article in The Fishing Wire at https://t.co/Ugj8OlxtTS

@Randchovy @USMPhillipsLab@MS_aquarium@sawfishconserv This is a totally new aquarium that was built like 2/3 years ago! It’s a hurricane shelter so hopefully it will last!
Are you a herpetologist? Do you like participating in REALLY important research? Take this survey from @LameaceH to help with some really important work!! #jmih23#herpetology
We need to have a wake up call to researchers at #jmih23 - if you use specimens from #naturalhistorycollections and don’t site: Collection name and Collection Manager and/or Curator it discards the immense amount of work we put into helping you. We notice. :)

All #Sawfish are Critically Endangered/Endangered & listed on #CITES Appendix I. PhD student @AMFearing is collecting tissues from old sawfish saws from #museums & private collections, with support from numerous collaborators around the world. #RhinoRay#SharkAwarenessDay
Our #genetic research on Largetooth #Sawfish highlights the importance of securing populations in the E Pac/Atlantic to conserve this genetically distinct lineage. Through local collaborators, we are supporting #eDNA surveys for this elusive species in these regions. #RhinoRay
Looking for a needle in a haystack requires the most advanced technology available, so we designed a novel #ddPCR#eDNA assay for Largetooth #Sawfish. What makes this different to qPCR or metabarcoding approaches? ddPCR can detect just 1 copy of target DNA in a water sample!
#SawfishNews in @SEVENSEAS_Media shares the exciting news that we recently tagged THREE endangered smalltooth sawfish inside #TampaBay!!

Incredible #PhD opportunity for Australian/New Zealand citizens investigating bycatch mitigation measures for sharks and #sawfish and assessing sawfish movement patterns following release after capture. Visit the link for details!

Could you get a nice genome assembly from a sample left out at room temp. for 1.5 months?
Yes!
🐠🩸 stored in 95% EtOH at 22°C for 6 weeks yielded 14 Mb N50 & 97% BUSCO from 34X coverage @nanopore sequencing [with short fragment eliminator (SFE) kit].
