Today on welcome to the Shark Bytes comments: The “actually” nerds are claiming I’m spreading misinformation by me occasionally referring to a shark as a fish. Yes, I get it. You clearly know about the oddities of taxonomy and monophyletic groups, but my god man it does not make you look clever… 🙄🦈

The amount of people in the Shark Bytes comments screaming that I’m not a scientist, and I’m told to prove it with my peer reviewed work. So I share links to my peer reviewed work on sharks, and then they scream “bUt yOuR NoT iN tHe WaTeR wItH sHaRks, sO yOu CaNt Be!” Cheers Shark Influencers 👍

Actually Mr Trump, plastic (in its various forms) does impact sharks, and is likely severely underreported. How do I know? Because I wrote the peer reviewed scientific research papers on it: www.int-res.com/articles/esr... www.nature.com/articles/s41...

If there are any deep-sea squid experts out there, please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong: however I reckon this might be a pretty rare diamondback squid egg case (formally known as thysanoteuthis rhombus egg masses). Seen today off Lily beach resort, Maldives 🦑🦑🦑
