For those following 'Tasha', the blue ##shark we SPOT tagged with NOAA Fisheries & ExeterMarine here are her movements over the last month. She's clearly favouring France, maybe for the #Olympics but more likely the Ushant front (Images from John Carlson & Simon Thomas). Thanks so much to all the anglers involved with this study, and the organisations above, along with the Pat Smith Database, Angling Trust & my home institutes The Marine Biological Association & University of Plymouth 🦈

fascinating - will the tag last for over a year to see seasonal movements? Will she move across the Atlantic? Historically breeding grounds were considered to be Gulf of Mexico I heard, or are we dealing with an eastern Atlantic population? I presume the more sharks you track, the more you'll learn?

Tropical lionfish are regarded as the most successful invasive fish in marine ecosystems. Lionfish were first noted off the coast of North Carolina in 2000. Fisheries biologists at the Beaufort Laboratory began to study the troublesome new invader in 2004. NOAA research was critical to documenting both the speed and extent that lionfish colonized the Atlantic. https://lnkd.in/eRuyzGbx#25YearsofNCCOS #Lionfish #InvasiveSpecies

Happy #CitSciFri! New research has found that recreational divers can help collect valuable information on marine habitats! Habitat data are important to fisheries management, but are often difficult to gather. So researchers teamed up with recreational divers in Sydney, Australia to test if dive photos contain habitat information and if that information matches what’s found in standardized surveys. The photos and surveys identified the same kinds of habitats! This finding is exciting as the use of photos could open the door to greater insight into critical fish habitat.Learn more about the project in this Hook, Line and Science blog! https://lnkd.in/e-WqD5jUPC: Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary#CitizenScience #SAFMCcitsci

New in Marine and Coastal Fisheries (open access): Shark depredation in recreational fisheries is an increasing source of human–wildlife conflict in the United States. This study quantified shark depredation in the Tarpon fishery and characterized the spatial ecology of Great Hammerheads and Tarpon in Bahia Honda in the Florida Keys. Depredation Rates and Spatial Overlap between Great Hammerheads and Tarpon in a Recreational Fishing Hot Spot, by Grace A. Casselberry, Gregory B. Skomal, Lucas P. Griffin, Jacob W. Brownscombe, Alex Filous, Peter E. Holder, Joseph Dello Russo, Campbell Morgan, Jeff Kneebone, Aaron J. Adams, Steven J. Cooke, and Andy J. Danylchuk: https://lnkd.in/gktW5qdS

Higher stream temperatures have become more common in recent years, leading anglers to ask two common questions.First, is catch-and-release fishing actually harming trout populations by fishing on summer days when water temperatures get warm?Secondly, should Fish and Game use “hoot owl” fishing closures to prohibit even catch-and-release fishing when water temperatures get too warm?Last summer, Idaho Fish and Game biologists performed a study to help answer these questions and provided a real-world example to put this in perspective of actual trout populations.Using fisheries science, we evaluated "hoot owl" closures.

I have two takeaways.1. Fish mortality from catch and release angling in warm water may not have population level impacts…. Because the fishing will be lousy 2.Anglers who do catch fish in warm water will introduce increased risk of fish mortality. Individual anglers should be educated about impacts to cold water fish during low flow/warm water conditions and should adjust individual angling practice accordingly. At times, individual practice should stand alone from agency level management decisions. I recommend www.keepfishwet.org for science based principles and practices. A worth while read as we head into another hot weekend in Eastern Idaho. Thanks Idaho Fish and Game for providing some impactful data!

🐬 🚨 Today our new report was published: "Small Cetaceans – Even Bigger Problems: An updated global review of directed hunts on small whales, dolphins and porpoises". The results are shocking - the situation of dolphins, porpoises and small whales has even worsened in recent years. Dolphins are often killed to be used as bait in commercial fisheries, e.g. for sharks 🦈 or catfish 🐟 . Now we have evidence that this is even practice in distant water fleets. Dolphins are culled by fishermen as alleged "competitors" for dwindling fish stocks – and in some areas their meat is now replacing fish, which has disappeared... International conventions, such as the IWC need to finally take action against these hunts to prevent extirpation of an increasing number of dolphin populations...Have a read: https://lnkd.in/d9ZYHTbGWhale and Dolphin Conservation Nicola Hodgins Katrin Matthes Ed Goodall Lindsay Porter OBE Sue Fisher OceanCare Sarah Dolman Clare Perry Rebecca Regnery Jo Swabe Matthew Collis Ilaria Di Silvestre Fabienne McLellan Vanessa Williams-Grey Madison Miketa

I am currently assessing the bycatch of non-target species listed with MPI and am blown away by the sheer volume of creatures, critters and even coral, that have been either hauled in from the deep by trawl net, caught in set nets, or have fallen victim to surface long lines. Out of 2,739 events highlighted, 5,012 animals have died, 5,570 have been caught and released (the outcome of their survival beyond release is unknown). There has been 5.22 tonnes of benthic material - including coral, caught. Of the species caught, I was saddened to see at least 7 Basking sharks, 11 Leatherback turtles, Yellow eyed penguins (setnets), 3 orca, whales, dolphins including Hector's, baleen whales, long-fin pilot whales, and so many albatross (including royal) with 15 caught in one long-line event. The threatened Westland Petrel, which lives and nests on the wetlands of Barrytown - were also victim, with 6 caught so far. In one single trawl event, 9 NZ Fur Seals were caught. My aim is to list and analyse all of these, and map their fisheries area so we can all understand the gravity of what this means for our coastal areas in Aotearoa NZ. Because from where I sit, this is not the future I want for my child. #conservation #fishing #nzcps #policy11 #ecsi

The Exocoetidae are a family of marine ray-finned fish in the order Beloniformes, known colloquially as 'flying fish'. About 64 species are grouped in seven genera. Flying fish can make powerful, self-propelled leaps out of the water where their long wing-like fins enable gliding for considerable distances above the water's surface. The main reason for this behavior is thought to be to escape from underwater predators.1. "How and why do flying fish fly?"Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries. 4 (2): 184–214. 2. "Flying Fish | National Geographic".

We can't keep looking away! The amount of small cetaceans being killed as bait, for consumption or as competitors needs to stop! Please read the article and see for yourself.
