Coffs Harbour creeks downstream of blueberry farms are heavily polluted with nitrate.

@H2O_scientist PhD not only identified the problem, but trialed solutions!

Happy #InternationalDogDay ! We adopted this not so little goofball from the RSPCA at the start of the pandemic. Despite the many a shoe and daybed chewed, Donnie has brightened our lives and given us many a laugh during these difficult times ❤

A great deep dive into whale carcasses by @abcnews
Very timely with the latest stranding in South Australia.

"Brown is the new gold" 😂 😂 congrats on the paper and the pun @SharkSprinkles!

My first first-author pub is out now🎉 we applied DNA metabarcoding to cloacal swabs for high resolution shark diet reconstruction: Brown is the new gold 😬🦈💩

Authors tagged ~8–20% of immature Australasian #whiteshark population & demonstrate that environmental factors have little effect on their occurrence along NSW beaches. Study also indicates that lack of controls can lead to misinterpretation of data. https://t.co/OTMdYcYs2e

@fiskeforbrains Definitely great to watch, this guys comes off all bossy but really wouldn't hurt a fry

[James P. Tucker @carcasschemist]

While I really love my #sharks I also love my freshwater fish species. For my #FreshVsSaltyFish submission here's a local species, the beautiful Empire Gudgeon (Hypseleotris compressa) in full colour.

Ps. Please ignore the photobomb by an Ornate Rainbowfish 😂
