New paper from our team using eDNA metabarcoding to assess potential impacts from a seismic survey on a tropical fish community https://t.co/S3yOoySeV8 @aims_gov_au @CMST_oceans @IMASUTAS @uwaoceans @WAFishResearch 🧬🐟🐠🧬🐟🐠🧬

New paper: Fully protected areas that are large and cover whole reefs provide conservation benefits for reef sharks🦈 Benefits DOUBLE when embedded within areas of effective fisheries management‼️

This "mixed management" approach boosts global conservation of elasmobranchs🦈

Research led by @MilesJParsons suggests exposure to a single #seismic survey is unlikely to increase mortality or affect #pearl production in adult #oysters.

The @globalfinprint study found populations of #sharks & rays on Australian coral reefs are faring better than the same species on reefs where there is less protection from fishing.

[Australian Institute of Marine Science @aims_gov_au]

New study finds 5 main #shark species that live on coral reefs have declined globally by an average of 63%, overfishing the main driver.

My third PhD chapter is out! 🧬 We applied 18S to characterize the diversity of Ningaloo Reef 🪸 and recovered strong patterns of community dissimilarity across adjacent reef zones with eDNA. Check it out 👇🏼

Elusive #seasnakes at Ashmore Reef have been found hiding in the deep!

Video surveys in the mesophotic zone recorded 5️⃣ species not reported in shallow waters for a decade.

Time to rethink what we thought we knew about whale sharks - they don't just eat zooplankton and small fish. Floating algae is also part of the diet making them the largest omnivore on the planet since the dinosaurs: https://t.co/I3FHDPr7dc

Big fish are thriving in no-take marine reserves 🐟 The findings come from a #UWA study using more than 22,000 baited remote underwater video devices.

Just out today in PNAS. Our new study:
A large-scale experiment finds no evidence that a seismic survey impacts a demersal fish fauna https://t.co/TdbCFYZ4IB
