Estuarine fish face complex stressors, including highly variable salinity and oxygen availability 🫧 In a new paper, “The impact of isosmotic conditions on the metabolism and hypoxia tolerance of a reportedly oxyconforming teleost,” we ask how common galaxias cope with these challenges 🐟

The impact of isosmotic conditions on the metabolism and hypoxia tolerance of a reportedly oxyconforming teleost

Fish must manage the competing demands of ion balance and gas exchange across the gills – a physiological tension known as the osmorespiratory compromise. In dynamic estuarine environments, the osmor...

Had a blast at the annual ASFB conference @austsocfishbiol.bsky.social in Darwin. ☀️🐊 I was happy to share my research on fish behaviour. Lots of amazing talks through the week. Looking forward to the next one! @whatahoot.bsky.social @timothy-d-clark.bsky.social

I had an amazing time in Antwerp at the #SEBconference I had the opportunity to share my research on the impact of parasites on fish behaviour🐟🪱 So many great talks! @whatahoot.bsky.social @lkuchenmuller.bsky.social @timothy-d-clark.bsky.social @sebiology.bsky.social

The FINclub 2025 team (most of us)! Now off for the SEB conference @sebiology.bsky.social 🧪🐟

Sandra Binning giving the President's Medallist talk on the importance of considering parasites for increased ecological relevance. Great presentation! 🐟🧪 #SEBconference @sebiology.bsky.social @jexpbiol.bsky.social

So many great talks on the last couple days of #SEBconference! It was great to hear from @chris-on-fish.bsky.social and @bradhowell.bsky.social about their work at Trent, as well as my #DeakinMarine friends @gradito.bsky.social on work from her M.S. and Alex Berry on his PhD research 👏

Had a beautiful writing retreat with the lab group (including @gradito.bsky.social and @lkuchenmuller.bsky.social) last week 🥰 We drove down the #GreatOceanRoad to Airey’s Inlet and had an honestly-productive writing session with lots of beach breaks 🏖️ Can’t wait to share what we were working on!

Great teamwork and very cool results, go check it out! Thanks to all the brilliant co-authors! Best way to conclude this PhD journey 😊

New collaborative work led by @marie-levet.bsky.social finally out in @funecology.bsky.social! 🎉 Here we examined the combined impact of parasite infection and temperature on fish metabolism. 🐟🪱🦠🌡️. Marvellous team with Sandra, Vincent, Shaun and Sophie. doi.org/10.1111/1365...

Late Friday nights in the lab with the best lab group I could wish for ✊ @whatahoot.bsky.social @gradito.bsky.social clark-lab.com
