Another day another seminar! Had such a great time speaking at the Milford Aquaculture Seminar today about oyster population health in natural reefs in LIS! @NOAAFish_NEFSC@LISStudy
Attn aquaculture folks: We still have a few spots left for folks to attend our Science Center’s 2025 Milford Aquaculture Seminar on January 13–15, in Shelton, Connecticut. Info: https://t.co/V6P0NCbWmE. #MAS44th#NEFSCScience
Meet biological science technician Isaiah Mayo, this month’s #FacesOfNEFSC! Learn about his science journey, why he loves his work, how he’s helping create a supportive community for #PeopleOfColor, what #BlackHistoryMonth means to him, more: https://t.co/3kAiimvHMA.
🦪🦠���November 15th at 1:30 PM EST I will be giving my dissertation seminar titled: Disease dynamics in marine keystone species: understanding Pacific oyster-OsHV-1 and eelgrass-Labyrinthula spp. interactions.
If this interests you, DM me for the streaming link!
WOOHOO!! 🤗
We're bringing this important project back to your timelines for #OysterWeek. We're working with partners to guide oyster restoration efforts in Long Island Sound: https://t.co/LhY8uZyxHA 🦪@NOAA@NOAAFish_NEFSC
Meet five #LongIslandSound#oyster growers who helped our Milford Lab better understand fish abundance and behavior in/around oyster farms, how farms may act like artificial reefs, and more: https://t.co/Hwm7uYFqW3. #OysterWeek#CitizenScience
Thoughts about my first time in Oregon:
- The trees are massive and GREEN
- Why are there so many RVs?
- The Pacific Ocean is freezing.
- West coast sunsets are superior.
- 🏔️ + 🌊 = 🤯
- New England style clam chowder is better. #notsorry
- I will be returning for non-work fun
Mariah Kachmar is a shellfish health/disease tech at our Milford Lab. In her new blog, she talks about studying #CT and #NY#oyster beds and shares her best field sampling tips, including how to prevent getting sunburned and hangry: https://t.co/jRrJFgnfmx.
Our Fall Survey for oyster diseases in the Virginia Chesapeake Bay region began today @VIMS_News@WMNews with oysters from a reef in the Great Wicomico River. Our survey informs fisheries management in the Bay and #aquaculture health management throughout the region
Looking for 3 PhD students to join exciting new #seagrass#restoration project (starting July 2024) focusing on #Indigenous knowledge, #genetics & scaling up solutions. Deadline for scholarship applications: 22 Sept 2023 - get in touch if interested

We're measuring the health of Long Island Sound’s oysters 🦪 to guide restoration. We measure oyster shell size and body condition and take tissue samples to help us understand the reproductive fitness of an oyster population. Credit: NOAA Fisheries/ Meghana Parikh #restoration
In our #LISOysterHealth work we’ve seen a whole lot of shell parasitism and pathology, but finding #polychaete worms in the adductor muscle tissue is a first for us 🪱
