The FSBI
@thefsbi.bsky.social
🌍 An international learned society based in the UK that supports scientific activity in fish biology and fisheries science. 📖 Regular updates from the society's journal, the Journal of Fish Biology #JFB. Page managed by @DrWillPerry.bsky.social
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!
As #FSBI2026 starts to wind down, a quick shout to any studnets using stable isotopes their research - the #AtomicEcology academic path course is build on 10+ years teaching these techniques & allows you to lear with a cohort of international peers www.atomicecology.com/academic-pat...
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
A classy and inspirational acceptance talk by #SimonJennings, 2026 Beverton Medal awardee. #FSBI2026
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
First big conference this week at #fsbi2026, where I presented my early first chapter results with a poster and a flash talk 🐟 thank you @thefsbi.bsky.social for the opportunity!
A dive into the rich tapestry of #amazonian fish life, meaning, influence and hope. #AdalbertoLuisVal, 2026 Le Cren Medal winner. #FSBI2026
We enter our final session of #FSBI2026, "Patterns Across Ecological Scales". Our keynote speaker, Anne Magurran kicks things off, with a deep dive into the biodiversity and community assemblages of fish, including how different diversity metrics behave in different ecosystems
🏅 Last but not least, we heard from Simon Jennings, this year's Beverton Medallist, awarded to a distinguished scientist for lifelong contribution. Simon talked about importance of identifying difficult questions then fitting the right tools as well as spotting happenstance opportunities #FSBI2026
🏅 We also heard from this year's Le Cren Medallist, Adalberto Luis Val, awarded for lifelong contributions to conservation, training, or public understanding of fish biology. Adalberto took us on his research journey through the Amazon, in his truly charismatic style! #FSBI2026
Finishing today, our distinguished medallists!🏅Esteban Nogueira, this year's Huntingford Medallist for most impactful paper by an ECR in the Journal of Fish Biology, told us about: The theory of island biogeography and the stability of oceanic reef fish communities doi.org/10.1111/jfb.... #FSBI2026
Congratulations to @lsoler.bsky.social who presented an excellent poster and flash talk at the #FSBI2026 symposium! Her single cell RNA sequencing results revealed how resistant and susceptible salmonids differ in their systemic immune responses to sea lice. 🐟🧪🧬🧑💻 @thefsbi.bsky.social
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
Fuelled up from lunch and ready to go! Opening the "Fish & Human Health" session we have our next keynote, Ioanna Katsiadaki! Ioanna talks about the importance of fish as a healthy food. However, heavy metal contamination like mercury, POPs and other emerging contaminants threaten this #FSBI2026
And make sure you read this other paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... which is class. #TwoEyedSeeing #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...

The FSBI@thefsbi.bsky.social · 7d agoThis 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
Fascinating results on #visual #adaptation within a cute #Malawi #cichlid #radiation expertly narrated by #ClaudioSilvaDeFreitas #FSBI2026
The session "Movement Through Transition Zones", is opened by our keynote, Alex Rodgers! Alex talks about how fisheries have transitioned through time: aboriginal, medieval sail-power, colonial expansion period, industrial fishing and steam power, and the "great acceleration" to the 1990s #FSBI2026
Fascinating talk from Alex Rogers on the history of fishing development and regulation at #FSBI2026. Given that fishing pressure is the major driver of marine species decline, perhaps France was onto something with their previous laws...
The poster is ready for the session, demonstrating the roadmaps towards survey adaptation #FSBI2026 @afbini.gov.uk @thefsbi.bsky.social @icesmarine.bsky.social
Fab, thought provoking talk by @bd-stew.bsky.social about the value of citizen scientist- & fisher-collected data. From octopi to sharks, we can learn a lot from people who are in the sea every day (while we tap away on laptops & social media!). Get out there and talk/build relationships 🙌 #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
Great start to today at @thefsbi.bsky.social symposium! An interesting keynote from @bd-stew.bsky.social on the importance and value of citizen science in a changing climate, lots to think about! #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
Starting today's talks is Bryce Stewart. Dramatic changes in sea temperatures due to climate change are causing radical ecosystem shifts. Bryce talks about UK octopus booms and trends in pollack & pelagic shark - highlighting the value of info from fisherman, citizen scientists and divers #FSBI2026
