We have shirts! For just $30 you can get your hands on one and make all the other labs jealous, PLUS all proceeds go towards funding our research. Just shoot us a message to order. Design by https://t.co/vbv5u3iuor. #FishLabInTheWild
Do mothers that experience predation risk pass that on to their offspring via maternal effects? https://t.co/fuU9EmwL16 @FishLab_MQ @MQBiology @MQSciEng
Our very own @jpkadar will be part of this years @SoapboxSydney to talk about her exciting and cutting edge research on Port Jackson Sharks! Be sure to tune in August 20th 9am.
Julianna Kadar @jpkadar is a PhD student in the Fish Lab ๐ @Macquarie_Uni where she tags & tracks adorable Port Jackson sharks!
Tune in August 20th at 9pm to hear more about her research & to ask all your shark related questions!

@pscarbia new paper out in Animal Cognition today. Males lose their spatial learning abilities while guarding the nest. Use it or loose it! @FishLab_MQ @MQBiology @MQSciEng

Baby PJ #sharks reared under warmer temperatures displayed faster learning than those under current day temperatures but displayed greater mortality.
New research from @catarina_vp, me, @joshreed_mq, @CulumBrown@FishLab_MQ

Congratulations to our #PhD student @MotherOfRays on her success in receiving 20 acoustic transmitters for her smooth #stingray research using #acoustic telemetry!
Actual footage of me after being told I was successful in my application to the @IMOSAnimalTrack @vemcoteam Tag Top Up Student Award and that I am getting 20 #acoustic transmitters to stalk more stingrays with! Thanks #Vemco & #IMOSATF! @FishLab_MQ@MQ_Marine@MQSciEng @MQBiology
So many fascinating talks today at the 2019 Coastal Mini-Symposium! Itโs great to see innovative research happening right here at @Macquarie_Uni @MQBiology @EnvScMQ @LivingSeawalls@FishLab_MQ
๐ขโ ๏ธPaper by @pscarbia@CulumBrown shows gobies reared in complex environs (rock/oyster substrate) learn a spatial task faster ๐ than gobies reared in homogeneous environs (seagrass/sand). So beware how you house your #fish! ๐๐ #AnimalWelfare#WomenInSTEM
Many of our members research behaviour in captive animals. Perhaps they will pay extra attention to this article, which shows that captive environmental #enrichment can affect learning ability in gobies:

New paper ๐ข Familiarity often drives social preferences in juvenile #fish & #sharks ๐๐ฆ BUT not in juv Port Jackson sharks ๐ซ Since adult PJs form groups, our results suggest an ontogenetic shift in social behaviour ๐ค https://t.co/ogLMWWvhMS @catarina_vp @CulumBrown@MQSciEng
PHD THESIS SUBMITTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to everybody who has helped me get here especially @CulumBrown and all in the @FishLab_MQ and @TiffanyJNay.
On a side note.... our submission screen is super anticlimactic... Is it too much to want animated fireworks?
Why do we treat sharks any differently from charismatic mammals? We need to check our moral compasses, well said @catarina_vp! @CulumBrown@seamuseum_#oceantalks
Ever wondered if shark repellent actually works, or if sharks can hear sounds underwater? Discover the answers to these questions and more in our April Ocean Talk with three of Australiaโs leading shark ecologists and @sydneymarine: https://t.co/DpFQum8rah | #sharkscience#sydney
