I'll talk about dogfish to anyone who'll listen. Shark and ray researcher at IMAS. Maugean skate whisperer...

An early start for #NationalThreatenedSpeciesDay with a workshop discussing a the potential for establishing a captive population of Maugean Skate. Great to have lots of national and international experts involved. @Sacanth @PpsharkPaula @fishtritionist @kerryacameron

The latest issue of Shark News is out from @IUCNShark
Lots of great material as always. Head to page 86 to check out my article: "Maugean Skate: Skating Towards Extinction?"

The evidence is in! IMAS scientists are calling for urgent conservation action after monitoring revealed the #Maugeanskate pop'n has rapidly declined by almost 47% in #macquarieharbour TAS – their last remaining habitat & one impacted by human activity: https://t.co/oBGpCWxOWh

Great article on the challenges facing the Maugean Skate featuring @Sacanth and @ca_awruch from @IMASUTAS, and @ElasmoBro from @AustMarConsSoc #sharkconservation #hooray4rays #sharkscience

How do you survey a rare cryptic species living in a 0 visibility, high turbidity environment? @IMASUTAS Testing new optic and acoustic tech to help the very endangered Maugean skate with AMCs auv explorer. @TheSimsLab @ca_awruch

Not great news of Maugean Skate on #ThreatenedSpeciesDay
Endangered on Tasmanian and National threatened species lists, and one of the priority species in the Threatened Species Action Plan. https://t.co/eRUZyPJcMg

The Maugean skate has one of the most restricted distributions of any shark or rays species, and new research shows its even smaller than we thought. Macquarie Harbour is now that only refuge for this unique Tasmanian species.

An IMAS study has found Macquarie Harbour is the last refuge for #endangered Maugean Skate - after DNA surveys of Bathurst Harbour only found minute🧬traces. It confirms conserving the Mac Harbour pop'n is the only option for this unique species' survival https://t.co/usIFnP7jnv

FACES OF #ASFB2018: "I am working on the population of a small shark [spiny dogfish] that’s living in a very heavily impacted and remote area, and looking at how different aspects of their biology might be changing in response to those impacts..."
