My job is to try and understand fish.
I am a marine ecologist at @spc_cps, interested in animal behaviour and their interactions with humans.

Back from one month away and 17,000 skipjack tagged + released as part of the best tuna tagging programme in the world! Tank yu tumas Solomon Islands! #science #tuna #pacific #fisheries #sustainability #solomonislands @spc_cps

[Cefas @CefasGovUK]

And the results are in.

In the first week of #BFTCHART 2023, the skippers and their crew have already tagged 63 tuna!

@johnkpinnegar summarises ensemble projections of uk fish distributions out to 2060, by then our diet will be like a Mediterranean holiday meal #FSBI2023 @fsbi2023

This visualization uses the visual metaphor of a submerged porthole window to observe how far our oceans rose between 1993 and 2022.

Great teaser video from my colleagues on starting to break down exactly what harvest strategies are, and what they mean for Pacific peoples and their fish 💙

@johnkpinnegar, @CefasGovUK kickstarts the next session discussing marine climate change and how it will impact fisheries worldwide.

Why bother having a strong #science and #monitoring programme for Pacific #tuna?
It tells where we've been, where we are, and where we're going

Late night email from Korean fisherman who caught one of our tagged bigeye #tuna. Measured and weighed with vessel info! Miss my fieldwork so so much since C19, but these moments make all the office based effort getting more fisher engagement feel so worth it! 감사 해요!

[Joe Scutt Phillips @JScuttPhillips]

@JoeWiddrington @Alice_R_Jones @spc_cps Pretty sure I sampled some of these otoliths in Tonga/Wallis with Ashley W back in 2012... Will be really interested in the findings of your project, awesome stuff!

[Cefas @CefasGovUK]

Last week the team put in a huge effort to make up lost time due to previous bad weather. A CHART programme best performance was recorded with a record-breaking 66 Atlantic Bluefin Tuna tagged, bringing the season total to 224. @AnglingTrust

[UFollowtheOcean @UFollowtheOcean]

Where does the #tuna go? 🐟

Is it prey, Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs), other tuna or ocean flow?

@peternooteboom, @ErikvanSebille, @JScuttPhillips and Simon Nicol try to find out, using interacting tuna, FADs and prey in idealised numerical simulations. @uuimau @spc_cps

💢SPC Tuna scientists are presenting, this week, the latest cutting-edge science 🧬🔬that they are using to provide the best advice possible to the Pacific Tuna Fisheries managers. 🎙Podcast will be available soon! #WFC2021 #science #sciencenerd #Tuna #PacificFisheries

@TomScutt I remember the demo of SpiralStone on my GBA writable cartridge! It was awesome, I was so gutted when the ~40 mins of play were up

[ThunnusUK @ThunnusUK]

In 2018 and 2019 we deployed 33 @Tags4Wildlife MiniPATs on #bluefin #tuna off SW England and Wales with funding from @DefraGovUK, @WG_fisheries and the #EMFF.

The data show broad movements in the EAtl. and are summarised in this short blog.
