📢New paper 🚨 Our first paper for 2025 is out! We looked at #microplastics in dried and fresh fish from seafood markets in Sri Lanka 🐟🇱🇰 Read the full article here: publish.csiro.au/mf/Fulltext/... @brongillanders.bsky.social @fishpatrick.bsky.social @austsocfishbiol.bsky.social #scicomm

Graphical abstract showing that 48% of dried fish in Sri Lanka had Microplastics, while 96% of fresh fish did.

I haven't seen one yet, so I created a Plastic, Microplastic, etc starter pack. Let me know if you want to be added or know of others to add. go.bsky.app/Ld46AhM

Hi BlueSky! I’m Nina, a marine ecologist from the University of Adelaide working on plastic pollution and ocean education. 🐟🧜🏼‍♀️ I love anything to do with being underwater! I also love #scicomm and #sciart and just came back from running our fish pottery lab meeting. 🎨

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

What sampling method should we use to find fish?! It depends on what you are trying to find, but ideally we use a combination… Great talk by Dan Yeoh at #ASFB2024 @austsocfishbiol.bsky.social

Hindsight in fisheries is a great thing… Inspiring talk by the K Radway Allen award at #ASFB2024, A/Prof Tony Fowler. Record levels of catch, paired with low recruitment years = collapsed snapper fishery 🐟 More drawings to come tomorrow @austsocfishbiol.bsky.social
