the newsagents is one of those things that’s like when you put on the They Live sunglasses. normal middle class people think it’s Speaking Truth to Power but it’s actually just 100% captured lobby journalists whose livelihoods depend on Being Nice to Power

Yesterday I had the privilage to talk about my research and introduce Loricariids as a great/fascinating model for understanding evolution (particularly their morophology) at the #fsbi2026 symposium in Southampton. I really enjoyed the event and learnt so much!

Great to see conference # being useful again, a real pleasure to follow #FSBI2026 from home this week & find new faces to follow - sincerest thanks to @thefsbi.bsky.social @marianilab.bsky.social @otolithgirl.bsky.social @drwillperry.bsky.social et al for spreading the good news

Mindblowing journey across the subtleties of understanding fish #biodiversity change in time and space, from #freshwaters to the #oceans, from #tropical to #temperate… #AnneMagurran keynote on the final day of #FSBI2026

How lucky are we "never to work a day in our lives" as we so much love our work! At a conference, and everyone has aquatic themes displayed on jewellery, tops, clothing,bags, and Tattoos! I love to work with all these people passionate about the same things as me. #FSBI2026

Masterful overview of the current risks to #fish and #human #health and ways forward to avert them! By #IoannaKatsiadaki #FSBI2026

Whilst the cost of living crisis continues to spiral, with food and fuel prices soaring, so do global oil and gas companies profits. Shell has today announced it's profits have more than doubled. This is obscene. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

It’s official!!! The 50th @thefsbi.bsky.social symposium, marking the Society’s 60th anniversary, will be held in #Trieste in July 2027, hosted by the National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics #OGS #Miramare #FSBI2026

“Two‐Eyed Seeing”: An Indigenous framework to transform fisheries research and management

Increasingly, fisheries researchers and managers seek or are compelled to “bridge” Indigenous knowledge systems with Western scientific approaches to understanding and governing fisheries. Here, we m...

This morning we are lucky to have Steven Cooke kicking off the session: "Fish Behaviour & Physiology in Conservation". He talks about interdisciplinary in fish biology and why it's needed to meet the challenges of the 21st century. You can read more, here: doi.org/10.1139/face... #FSBI2026

Great to meet up with members of our editorial team at #FSBI2026 who give so much to the Journal of Fish Biology and FSBI

The poster is ready for the session, demonstrating the roadmaps towards survey adaptation #FSBI2026 @afbini.gov.uk @thefsbi.bsky.social @icesmarine.bsky.social

Fascinating results on #visual #adaptation within a cute #Malawi #cichlid #radiation expertly narrated by #ClaudioSilvaDeFreitas #FSBI2026

Sleek and Sobering. #SimoneLibralato from the #OGS in #Trieste, shows us that the projected climate impact on #Adriatic #FoodWeb structure largely outweighs any management action that we can put in place… #FSBI2026

A taster of the @projectfishistory.bsky.social from @alecbmmoore.bsky.social, digging out some especially revealing #historical #ecological facts on #herring (never forgotten) spawning grounds in the #IrishSea. #FSBI2026

Kudos to the tough crew who got up at dawn for the annual #FSBISpawningRun! Big thx to Eilie & Becca for leading us. Southampton Common never looked better! Appreciated the bifurcation into slow/fast groups. You can just see the swift gazelles disappearing ahead of the in the pics 🤣 #FSBI2026

We’re graced by @bd-stew.bsky.social telling us recent stories of #marine #faunal changes around the Southwest of England and their impacts on human communities. (With an added picture of the many octopuses being caught in Brittany a couple of years before the UK #bloom!) #FSBI2026

Great to learn from #IrmakKurtul how #Türkiye is on the crest of the wave of aquatic science! #Ege #Izmir #FSBI2026

Very sophisticated experiments by #MariaFlorenciaScaia to show powerful response to #alarm stimuli, with the “angry” mutants reacting too much and the “docile” ones reacting too mildly! #zebrafish #FSBI2026

You can’t help but loving some proper #seabream management. #SaraBirchenough take us through all the nuances… #FSBI2026

So many wonderful, thought provoking talks at #FSBI2026! From weird economics to shark tooth jewellery to tagging to metapopulations to stakeholder engagement to fisheries management. So diverse and interesting!! @thefsbi.bsky.social

Neat speedtalk by #JoeDawson telling about mismatches between fishery closure and spawning peaks in #seabass (who love the #Solent!) #FSBI2026 #FSBI26

David Murray (cefas) very clear explanation of challenges of jargon in population genetics when communicating with policymakers #FSBI2026

Here’s @dickeycollas.bsky.social reminding us of the importance of co-created knowledge and evidence for #fisheries #management @thefsbi.bsky.social #FSBI2026 #FSBI26

Trailblazing silo-breaker #RashidSumaila open the dances by pushing the #FSBI2026 audience to steer away from narrow WEIRD economics for #oceans and #climate. @thefsbi.bsky.social #FSBI26

De-Normalize Israel. Basically we’ve got two choices: we either aggressively denormalize Israel or we watch our society become more and more Israeli. The west’s growing collective rejection of Israel is the growth of the western conscience. substack.com/app-link/pos...
