Todays the day, I open my online shop! I'm selling nature themed (mostly fish) stickers and postcards! This sailfish is my most recent artwork and is one of the available stickers. Please check it out and RT ❤️🐟

Some photos from the first iteration our week-long workshop as a part of our new initiative “Olas de Cambio” or “Waves of Change”. What an absolute week with an INCREDIBLE group of students (18 students; 5 different PR universities). More soon!

@liv4bacteria @Sternarchella Big smooch. For some reason the fish are always kissing when we take fish pics together. We don't do it on purpose, I swear 😅

[April Hugi @April_Hugi]

Japan round 2 fish collecting has been a huge success and a great time! Forever grateful to @Sternarchella for letting me tag along on the trip of a lifetime again. I think we both leveled up this year with deeper dives and bigger fish!

@mwestneat @Sternarchella Cutie patoootie!

Fantastic sampling crew today on our #backdatwrasseup expedition, including a group of invert biologists from James Reimer’s lab.

Power Plants of a Parrotfish! The jaw muscles and pectoral muscles are deep red, rich with mitochondria, compared to white body muscle above the eye and pelvic fin. #Biomechanics #Feeding #Locomotion #backdatwrasseup

I am recruiting a PhD student to come work with Paddlefish using telemetry and capture-recapture. Preferred start would be January 2024, but understand the application deadline is near so also open to conversations about Fall 24. See link below for info

@GrantEHaines @greyauk @SolomonRDavid @greenbeath @Wormy_Sturgeon Wow that is impressive. 🤯

[April Hugi @April_Hugi]

Ever wondered what the inside of a paddle fish rostrum looks like?

[April Hugi @April_Hugi]

@greyauk @SolomonRDavid @greenbeath @Wormy_Sturgeon This is a CT scan so it's highlighting the most dense parts of the rostrum. What you can see here is mostly bone and maybe some hard cartilage.

My tank is covered in blenny kisses.

[Kory Evans Ph.D. @Sternarchella]

Behold the crowning achievement of the #backdatwrasseup scanning initiative! This is the humphead parrotfish, the largest parrotfish in the world! This one was 71 cm long but they get even bigger. We had to fly all the way to Japan to get it, and it was too large to ship whole

[April Hugi @April_Hugi]

Everybody wish these new parents and their second egg clutch good luck. Fingers crossed we will have lots of little clownfish larvae in the next few days. #ittakesavillage #firattimeparents

[Kory Evans Ph.D. @Sternarchella]

Happy #WorldOceanDay from the Evans Lab and friends! Here's to another year of chasing our favorite fishes around the world

A squid scientist, a bat scientist , and a fish scientist walk into a bar... I mean, a giant radish farm on an active volcano! 🤯 @SarahMackAttack @arummel25

[April Hugi @April_Hugi]

@linnealungstrom Sounds like a super interesting project!

Island dip netting from the pier at night is elite level entertainment.

[Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D @SarahMackAttack]

Went out in the rain last night with @April_Hugi @Sternarchella @arummel25 and Yuna Dewa to see what comes to a light off an extremely dark pier on Yakushima island.

Answer? All kinds of shit.
Sargassum fish
Needlefish
