Lamentable: hay info suficiente lo que falta es voluntad para afrontar problemas difíciles pero importantes. Por desgracia, los intereses económicos de unos pocos siempre pasan por los problemas ambientales de tod@s 🥲 www.elperiodico.com/es/politica/...

Las autonomías frenan la declaración de la anguila como especie en peligro

Los gobiernos de las comunidades han reclamado realizar más seguimientos y tener más datos científicos antes de prohibir su pesca y consumo

How do #invasivespecies outcompete #native ones when #environmental conditions change? 🔬New #research on the #invasive Eastern Mosquitofish (𝘎𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘢 𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪) and the endangered Spanish Toothcarp (𝘈𝘱𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘶𝘴 𝘪𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘶𝘴) sheds light on the physiological mechanisms at play ⤵️ doi.org/10.3897/neob...

🧵1/9 There are 35,000+ fish species, but we have formal social-behaviour classifications for a tiny fraction. Most knowledge lives in the experience of researchers, fishers, divers, aquarists, naturalists, and Indigenous communities, but almost none of it is centralised. So we built ShoalBase.org.
