Why don't we apply similar laws to farmed fish compared with the legislation applied to farmed mammals? Fish need better protection #fishwelfare https://t.co/Ao3GNN14fs
I signed Crustacean Compassion's open letter calling for animals like crabs & lobsters to be included in animal welfare legislation & am delighted to see they now have been! Fantastic to work with @crab_welfare to achieve this. Thanks @DefraGovUK for listening to the science!
ANZAAP Aquatic Symposium 2022. 7-11 February 2022. 5 days of online webinars by and for aquatic animal professionals. Still time to catch up on sessions from days 1 and 2, including a fascinating talk by @LynneUSneddon on pain and sentience in fish, crustaceans and decapods,
@stephjbradbeer Yes, fine thanks Steph. Hope you're still having fun investigating invasive species from your base at the Uni of Leeds. We miss you at Exeter!
Our new paper 'Improving zebrafish laboratory welfare and scientific research through understanding their natural history' (beautifully illustrated by Sandra Doyle) is available Open Access in Biological Reviews: https://t.co/iKaJzTJGyn
Sad to see the use of thermal delousing continuing despite the temperatures used causing pain to the salmon #fishwelfare#fishsci https://t.co/W5bN9s2Pwt
During a dive off Anilao, our senior campaigner, Danny Ocampo, photographed this fish. Unknown to him, this is the rare sailfish velifer (Velifer hypselopterus)! This could be the first and only known photographic record of this species in the Philippines. ๐ #ProtectOurOceans

Folks are asking me about this viral photo of a magical rainbow... pigeon? Dove? What is it? Let me explain, as someone who is writing a book on pigeons and is now 95% pigeon.
@asilarab Dear Carol @asilarab, It is quite long time that you were interested about our VIE tagging technique. Finally, we were able to put it together our work to publish it. If you are still interested please check out the article here: https://t.co/79mvVUjtGZ
