Eat native fish,

Here I am
Stuck in the middle with you 🎶

Wow, That Looks Like Something You'd Wrap a Dead Fish In!

Curious about strange artifacts at the #ErieMaritimeMuseum? Here’s an interesting story involving war over fish poaching, a patent, and a roll of paper housed in the collection. #GreatLakes

If EverGiven, the ship that was stuck in the Suez Canal, visited Portage Lakes, it would block entry into Turkeyfoot Lake, extending from Mosquito Point to the Statue of Liberty, or the entire length of the Iron Channel, or cross Rex Lake from Craftsman’s Park to the other side.

@DrKatfish @DrFishSG @SolomonRDavid @donaldorth @JasonBarnucz @WildlifeBioGal 🎼Chubby the Bluehead
Is a keystone species fish
Making mounds of stones
And creating homes
In stream waters that are swift 🎶

🎼Bumpety bump bump
Bumpety bump bump
What’s on your blue head?

🎼Tubercles bump bump
Tubercles bump bump
Hoping to seed some eggs!🎶

It’s that magical time of year!
It’s time for #25DaysofFishmas with the indomitable @DrKatfish

This really is #scicomm at it’s best. A fun mixture of ichthyology, puns, & holiday cheer. Follow along to learn about a new fish every day.

[Katie O'Reilly @DrKatfish]

What better way to kick off a #fishmas party than with candy? Candy darter (Etheostoma osburni), that is!

The first stop on the 2020 #25DaysofFishmas road trip is to the streams of the central Appalachian Mountains to visit this colorful and sweetly-named inhabitant🍭

@DrKatfish @SolomonRDavid @DrFishSG @donaldorth @WildlifeBioGal @JasonBarnucz 🎼Candy Darter, Candy Darter,
Dressed in holiday style,
In the air there's a feeling of #Fishmas🎶

🎼Stripes of perch lights, lovely vert-stripes,
With red-orange and blue-green,
In the Kanawha Basin you’re seen.🎶

#HelenLevitt, born #onthisday in 1913, wandered New York City capturing the spirited play of children on the sidewalks of Harlem & the Lower East Side. She worked as unobtrusively as possible with her handheld Leica.
