APPLY NOW: Nominations are open for the 2026 Peter A. Larkin Award and Lecture — an honour celebrating outstanding fisheries researchers who embody excellence in research, education, and societal engagement. oceans.ubc.ca/news-and-eve... Deadline: December 15, 2025

A new chapter for #Pacific fisheries begins! UH Mānoa’s MS & PhD in #SustainableFisheries open for applications on Dec 15, 2025. Designed for students ready to advance science, strengthen management, and drive island-based innovation. Learn more: manoa.hawaii.edu/fisheries/ #fishreriesmanagement

🐟 #FishBase35 holds 330K+ fish names (as of date), many in indigenous languages —each a thread of ecological, medicinal & spiritual knowledge. “Documenting these names [in FishBase] is like recording history,” says Deng Palomares. 🔗 nautil.us/whats-in-a-f... #IndigenousKnowledge #BiodiversityData

On #WorldFisheriesDay2025, we celebrate the science behind #SustainableFisheries. 🌊🌍 #FishBase & #SeaLifeBase provide species-level information, helping researchers, managers,& policymakers worldwide understand how each species responds to fishing pressure, environmental change, & habitat loss. 🌍📊🐟

#FISHBASETRAINING: 16 fisheries managers & educators from Benin, Togo & Côte d’Ivoire leveled up their skills in aquatic #ecology 🌊, #biodiversity 🐠, #parasitology and the use of FishBase 💻. Hands-on sessions & a field trip made learning fun & practical! Thanks to #GlobalTaxonomyInitiative/ #CEBioS.

WHAT'S NEW: MS & PhD in #SustainableFisheries now approved! Applications open Dec 15, 2025. Unique, transdisciplinary graduate program of UHM spanning SOEST, CNS, CTAHR, HSHK, CSS, & CALL to advance sustainable, Pacific-focused fisheries management. 🌊 Interested? Visit manoa.hawaii.edu/fisheries/

Experimenting with using LLMs to write entire R packages from code I've written elsewhere. Here's a #eDNA package that takes sightings and compares with Aquamaps, their BLAST identities, fishbase/AFD and tells you how likely this hit is (currently only 4 categories) github.com/Computationa...

Did you notice that FishBase, SeaLifeBase and AquaMaps all have new logos? Well, so do we! The Sea Around Us' revamped logo is a visual celebration of our commitment to marine science, collaboration, and ocean love. 🌊 🐟 bit.ly/blog178sau

Spent the day writing a fairly simple LCA script that uses WoRMS/Fishbase for the taxonomy - once it worked, gave the script to Claude 4 and asked it to make it production ready. Claude added input data caching, better error handling, logging, and so far the results are identical. This is great

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking AI system that detects fish calls in real time, giving us powerful new ways to monitor reef health and protect marine life. 🐠🪸 Dive into how this technology is shaping the future of our oceans 🌊 bit.ly/FishCallsAI. #coralreefs #fishsounds #fishbase

Really happy to have had a detailed answer to my fishbase habitats Q from @q-quatics.bsky.social, including the reminder that documentation is available via the glossary on the main fishbase page.

Daniel Pauly, FishBase architect & Principal Investigator of the @seaaroundus.org, joined the science panel at the ''Let the Herring Live" forum. He emphasizes that SAU helps fill gaps left by the "DFOs of the world," which focus on industrial fisheries. www.lakecowichangazette.com/news/salish-...

We just released v1.1.0 of our #eDNA amplicon nextflow pipeline! We replaced the way LCAs are calculated - we now rely on Fishbase taxonomy first, then WoRMS and NCBI - and have added FAIRe-standard-aligned output files github.com/MinderooFoun...

github.com/Minderoo-Oce... The taxonomy is mostly based on Fishbase, so we know that the scientific names are accurate (some bugs remain - just spotted Arripis georgianus, which should be Arripis georgiana)

We really appreciate all the support of our funders, contributors, and collaborators, including from NSERC, DFO, @libererofellows.bsky.social, @q-quatics.bsky.social, @bioacoustics.bsky.social, and so many others you can find here: fishsounds.net/people.js ❤️

Ichthyologist Fang Fang Kullander would have been 63 years old today. She travelled the globe for her taxonomical studies of freshwater fish and her work with Fishbase, but passed away at the age of 47 in 2010 from gall duct cancer. #WomenInSTEM #Ichthyology #FishSky #BioSky 🧪🐟
