New pub lead by @asofianogueira where she looked at the impact of O. mossambicus in African mangroves in 🇸🇹 using metabarcoding!!! A work financed by @MARE_centre mini grants take a look here on @BioInvasions https://t.co/Vp56aBbNSa

What a good way to finish this intensive week! A very complete course with lots of useful information! 🐟

[Fish Invasions Lab @FishInvasionLab]

Nobody wants to leave without the last challenge of the fish id course! Guess the drainage that you have on your fish tray... From Minho to the Guadiana River!!! Really committed class remained on friday evening till the end! @MARE_centre @CE3CResearch @MUHNAC

[Sofia Batista @sofiatsitab]

@DNAsaur_ Absolutely 🤣

[Fish Invasions Lab @FishInvasionLab]

Day 3 of the fish identification course ended with an amazing surprise!!! We had the privilege to have Pedro Salgado with us explaining the long, detailed and rigorous process of drawing a fish! Previously we had a couple of class of Iberian loaches and of Iberian barbels.

@SeaDNAproject @gertjanjeunen @RFBFisheries @ProfGemmell Extremely interesting!!!
