Breaking my loricariid streak for #SundayFishSketch to namecheck this fish called "That Fish" 那個魚 in Taiwan: Harpadon microchir, the smallfin bombay duck. I had drawn a different sp. of these crazy lizardfish last year, but this is my first time tasting them. Here they are fished off Taitung 台東 🐡🦑🧪

This #SundayFishSketch is Anomalochromis thomasi, the African butterfly cichlid. Native to western Africa, this was the first cichlid I kept. 🐟 #SciArt

Non-native fish acquire specialist/generalist parasites according to relatedness to fish community (if related +S, if unrelated +G) ∴ costs & benefits to both S&G strategies. Can help predict if fish remain parasite-free (i.e. good invader) or contribute to parasite spillback doi.org/10.1098/rsbl...
Evolutionary distinctiveness and parasite specificity determine infection of non-native fish
Abstract. While parasites frequently cross the host species barrier and increase their host range, the mechanisms underlying successful novel cross-species

Professor McRae will teach us about the importance of corals to marine ecosystem function and human livelihoods. How is ocean warming driving the loss and degradation of reefs globally? What avenues of hope exist for the future of corals in Taiwan? www.facebook.com/events/10351... #SciComm #科普 🧪
