What's that? Another FISH ALERT? 🐟 That's right! We are thrilled to announce another MWFB subspecies holotype, the McCloud River Redband Trout, newly described in Zootaxa today by Mac Campbell and Kevin Conway. Go read more about it at https://t.co/x5z54ZuT0v!

[Jay Lund @JayLund113]

Wonderful piece on the deeper history of not-yet-iconic California fishes. And how scholarship is fundamental to keeping them alive. https://t.co/Et7YjCG6mE

[UC Davis MWFB @MWFB]

FISH ALERT! This is not a drill! 🐟🙌 Check out Zootaxa to learn about four new species and subspecies of Speckled Dace, described by the one and only Dr. Peter Moyle and featuring MWFB type specimens. We're so excited for this publication!
