New open access in Hydrobiologia: Small #dams fragment assemblages of diadromous and freshwater #decapods in Hong Kong lowland streams https://t.co/oarDKBMEFJ

A fascinating #shrimp we discovered a few years ago is finally published! This species is still only known from a single locality and may be vulnerable to poaching for the ornamental trade.

High spatial variabiltiy and richness of #diadromous #fishes in Hong Kong. But of 32 species, only Anguilla marmorata (pictured) and Stiphodon multisquamus were able to ascend weirs < 2m in height.

The new species is named after its type locality in Lantau Island, Hong Kong!

Our study on the Macrobrachium (river prawns) of Hong Kong has finally been published! We surveyed the Macrobrachium species of Hong Kong, doubling the number of known species from 4 to 8, including a new species Macrobrachium lantau sp. nov. (pictured)!

Update: The fish has been identified as Lateolabrax maculatus.

Super stoked to embark on a PhD at @hku_science studying the diadromous animals (obligate sea <-> freshwater migrants) of Hong Kong with @jiahuanliew @JDGaitanEspitia and David Dudgeon!

A list of exotic turtles in Hong Kong has just been published in BioInvasions Records.

Just handed in my masters thesis. Felt great to be in the field without the feeling of guilt for once!

This is Stiphodon imeriorientis, one of the 5 Stiphodon species in Hong Kong. They are also one of the focal diadromous animals in the next stage of my career (🤞🤞🤞)

We compared turtle trade between online platforms and physical market in Hong Kong. Check out our new paper published in Biological Conservation

Our #MarineMonday Obseration of the Day is this Anguilla japonica #eel (日本鰻鱺 in Chinese (traditional)), seen in #HongKong by fishtse!

Ever wondered how the #upsidedown #jellyfish #Cassiopea deals with stressors (especially #eutrophication) that would be detrimental for other #symbiotic #cnidarians (e.g. #corals)? Maybe not, but in any case check out our freshly baked paper! https://t.co/6vJ6dStJ9n

Most #eel eaten in Hong Kong sushi restaurants is from endangered species, study finds ⁦@SWIMSHKU⁩ ⁦@stable_isodope⁩ ⁦@wwfhk⁩ ⁦@hku_science⁩ ⁦@HKUSBS⁩ https://t.co/HydC7arnqc

Forever grateful to my friends helping me set up the second half of my experiment in the mesocosms (post biocide dosage)! It's been a hectic few days and now it's back to the waiting game... @Microbial_Bio @AlexHHChan @clairetsui_ Yue & Hui Jin
