I made a starter pack of my fellow shark science and conservation professionals. There were about 350 of us on Twitter so we’ve got a ways to go, but many are here! Follow them and get more sharks in your feed, which I assume everyone wants. 🧪🌎🦑🦈 go.bsky.app/Q1x1gJB

Loéva Martin-Podevin showing us how AI can be used to survey recreational fishing in New South Wales. Really cool approach to a very complicated issue @austsocfishbiol.bsky.social #asfb2024

The Australian Society for Fish Biology is Australia's fish science community association (similar to AFS in the north America). They've recently migrated to Bluesky, give them a follow if you're interested in knowing what Australian fish science is doing! @austsocfishbiol.bsky.social

This is extraordinary behaviour of this smooth ray. Expelling its intestines violently to help get rid of anything it cannot pass. I shot this in Tasmania this year and we think it’s the first known documentation of this species doing this behaviour. Manta rays are known to do this. #marinelife

I am finding these starter packs useful for finding others with similar interests so here is another. Ping me if you work in the recreational fisheries science and management space and want to be added! #recreationalfisheries #angling #anglers #fisheriescience go.bsky.app/3UoUZkC

Remote underwater video is a great non-invasive way of sampling the aquatic world. Here are some researchers using this method. Let me know if you want to be added #BRUVS #RUVS 🧪🌎🦑🦈🐟🐠 go.bsky.app/2HSH6Cg

Here's another piece I contributed to on everyone's (or at least my) favourite stingray right now - Charlotte in a North Carolina Aquarium - who's making waves after becoming pregnant with no males around. Happy #FlatSharkFriday! www.discoverwildlife.com/news/stingra...

This stingray is about to have a 'virgin birth'. Scientists explain how

Rumours of a shark being the father to Charlotte's pups weren’t true – but the real story is still fascinating.
