A painful reminder #TeamFish about proper precautions with fish husbandry and what happened to me 🧵 1/ 
I've worked with aquariums and fish husbandry for nearly 20yrs with no issues. I've always assumed zoonotic diseases were rare and not something to stress too much about. 2/
I never put open, bleeding wounds in tanks, and figured that would be sufficient. Over the winter, this southern dude's skin did not appreciate how cruel the cold could be. 3/
¿Cuál es el estado de los stocks de los atunes tropicales?
Las Organizaciones Regionales de Pesca (ORPs) que evalúan el estado del los stocks de los atunes tropicales por especie y zona de gestión son: ICCAT, IOTC, WCPFC e IATTC

#investigatuna #teamfish
Todas las ORPs han determinado que las poblaciones de #atún listado no están siendo sometidas a sobrepesca, ni en estado de sobreexplotación
El #patudo está sobrepescado y sobreexplotado en el Atlántico. En el Pacífico Oriental, su estado fluctúa en el límite tanto de la sobrepesca, como de la sobreexplotación y en el Índico el stock no se encuentra sobreexplotado, pero sí en situación de sobrepesca
Humans weren't the only ones suffering from the #TexasWinterStorm2021. Thousands of fishes in the shallow Laguna Madre froze to death and are now lining the shorelines. Here are some photos from the Packery Channel. Be warned: dead fish content below ☠️🥶🐟
The most common species along the channel are pinfish (Lagodon rhomboides), a species that ranges from Cape Cod to the Yucatan. The birds seem to love their eyeballs 📌🐟
In second place are hardhead sea catfish (Ariopsis felis), bottom dwelling ariids that have an equally wide distribution. Interestingly, all of them look untouched. Looks like scavengers don't like catfish (can't blame them either) 🐈🐟
Ever wonder about the hidden secrets of a #CoralReefs water column? Well #manta #mantaray and #TeamCoral and #TeamFish surely want to know about the available food to eat! There’s a lot of info hiding in plain sight in clear (ish), tropical waters (1/n) doi.org/10.1007/s00338…
Happy to share the 3rd paper from my PhD! Biogeochemical variability and trophic status of shallow and #mesophotic #CoralReef water column following a #coral bleaching event in the #Maldives (2/n) @CoralReefs_UQ @CoralCOE @SpringerCORE doi.org/10.1007/s00338…

Interested in the mechanisms parasites might use to manipulate their hosts' behavior? Check out talk #690 in the Host-Parasite Interactions session to hear about work from my amazing mentees @MSU_IBIO, including tweep @lizwphillips17!

Keep an eye out for these wonderful scientists, all either recently graduated or just about to. Looking forward to seeing what they're up to in the very near future! 2/n
Day 2 of #SlugsVsFishes is feeding and predation. As you know, fishes for that covered real good. If there’s something edible in the sea, fishes will find a way to eat it. Acanthurids, like this Zebrasoma, are herbivorous. They feed mostly on algae and other vegetal growth. 1/-
Surgeonfishes have long guts with specialized bacteria that help ferment and digest plant matter. They are effective grazers and provide important ecosystem services by clearing filamentous algae in young reefs, allowing corals to colonize and grow. #SlugsVsFishes 2/-
Some other herbivorous fishes, like parrot fishes, take this a step further. Their teeth are fused into a sharp, powerful beak, which they use to rasp at rock and live coral. Not only do they eat surface algae, they also eat symbiotic algae growing within live coral tissue! 3/-
We need some inspiration. Join us to celebrate people fighting for our planet w/#30EarthMonthHeroes. The rules: 1⃣Tag a person who does great things to protect the environment 2⃣tag+thread another the next day 3⃣Repeat thru April. Explainer via @TaotaoTasi southernfriedscience.com/30-earth-month…
And just for fun, here is our 2019 list: #30EarthMonthHeroes
1) One of our #30EarthMonthHeroes is our previous president @brooke2cents. Beyond the leadership she provided us, Brooke trains conservationists on how to design outreach plans that motivate action. Check out her work on sustainable fishing in Mongolia: brooketully.com/making-sustain…
