For fem år siden strandet en hval med magen full av plast ved Sotra.
Les hva zoologene @TerjeLislevand og @CNoever forteller om funnet av #Plasthvalen som nå er på utstilling i @UiB_museet - og konsekvensene det fikk.

In just a decade after appearing in Danish waters, the invasive barnacle Austrominius modestus is now a major component of the intertidal community. In our recent paper we follow the invasion pathway and predict further spreading.

It's #fieldcourse time!
Our annual course in marine faunistics @UiBmatnat@UiB is on! Many species have already been studied and registered by the students, and the aquaria are filling up with beautiful and interesting creatures.
Just a couple of #chitons cruising around in a tide pool.
These are two very differently coloured specimens of Lepidochitona cinerea, little dude catching a ride is a small Littorina.
Four years ago today, we discovered the reason behind a whale’s suffering - a stomach completely filled with plastic bags. Since then the "plastic whale" has become a symbol for marine plastic pollution. Follow our annual anniversary event today at 2pm.

Tre år siden funnet av #Plasthvalen viser en meningsmåling at den fikk varig innflytelse på folks vaner.-Da vi åpnet hvalen, skjønte vi at det ville bli mye interesse. Vi kan snakke om et «før» og «etter» plasthvalen, sier forsker Terje Lislevand til NRK: https://t.co/sOIoOiArDx
Our #plastic whale showed how important it is to investigate stranded whales. Fortunately I did not find any plastic in this #whale and the remains of its prey will improve our knowledge on the ecology of this species.
