I’m looking for a few hundred fish photos please 🙏

We’re testing a new machine learning pipeline for landmarking and it works great for zebrafish but we’d like to test other species too.

If you don't find this concerning, you really don't understand how bad things are getting. Yes, there's an El Niño at the moment, but the sea surface temperature anomaly has never been so extreme during previous El Niños.

Today was a deep-sea biologist’s dream come true. I got to meet my hero- the gorgeous #blobfish here on our @oceancensus expedition in the Bounty Trough #NewZealand where we are collaborating with @niwa_nz and @Te_Papa exploring the depths for new species

A ghost pipefish. When something so beautiful tries so hard not to be seen

I've been looking through some old NOAA images and there's some pretty gnarly parasitology going on - this poor rattail has a huge parasitic copepod (brownish fluffy with yellow eggcases) and no fewer than three marine leeches apparently feeding on the copepod!

1. I think almost everyone who is still taking active steps to avoid being infected or re-infected with SARS-CoV-2 is tired at this point; I know I am. Having said that, late last night it occurred to me, with considerable clarity, that every single person I have had the...

Today we got to take some eDNA samples while humpback whales and their calves were waving at us in the background! 🐋 #HerveyBay #Australia @perks91

One of the goliaths of the deep - a giant amphipod (Cystisoma sp). We get these fairly regular in the deeper tows. The entire head of these amphipod is comprised of giant eyes. Trawled from the Gulf of Mexico, August 2016.

Some detail with Cocco's Lanternfish (Gonichthys cocco). The photophores (light producing organs) are beautiful in this deep water species (lower inset). Trawled from the Gulf of Mexico, August 2016.

[Danté Fenolio, Ph.D. @DanteFenolio]

Larval anglerfishes. The top fish is from the family Linophrynidae, the middle is a larval Cryptopsaras couesii, the bottom a female Melanocetus - will develop "fishingpoles" or an illicium - modified fin ray - on their heads which has a "fishing lure" or esca at the end of it.
