Today Maria Grazia Pennino presented the #FAME project at the Flash Talks during the 2nd OSCARS Annual General Meeting. Great to share the project we are starting with the OSCARS Project community and partners working to advance Open Science across Europe. ICM-CSIC#FAME

🚨 Paper alert! New study co‑authored by @valeriosbra.bsky.social shows why understanding behaviour is crucial to predicting and managing invasive species. 📸Online photos & videos can reveal behaviour patterns that traditional monitoring often misses. Read it: short.do/wirYnS @icmcsic.bsky.social

And you (and @sjcfishy.bsky.social) came back with a consistent reward.....what a conference!!!!

With @martinbulla.bsky.social @pavelpipek.bsky.social @shawan-chowdhury.bsky.social @franzessl1.bsky.social @theresahenke.bsky.social @ivanjaric.bsky.social @lenzner.bsky.social @ananovoaperez.bsky.social @shengyuwang.bsky.social @valeriosbra.bsky.social @allantsouza.ecoevo.social.ap.brid.gy et al.

I would have applied without any doubt if I were younger. Great topic!

🎓 Once again, we celebrated PhD Day at iMARES! A special occasion to share progress, ideas, and challenges from our PhD candidates. Want to discover their research lines? 👇 Follow the thread! #PhDDay #MarineScience #LFdS @icmcsic.bsky.social

Specifically, our chapter deals with digital data mining and the solutions and challenges that recreational fisheries need to manage in the immediate future to integrate such data into monitoring and management

The Digital Data Mining chapter is a personal favourite - couldn't have done it without you and the rest of the author team!

Rec fishing platforms aren’t just passive data sources - they’re powerful tools for engagement, education, and behaviour change. Our Digital Data Mining chapter explores how these data can reshape fisheries research & outreach. link.springer.com/chapter/10.1... #recreationalfisheries #citizenscience

Happy to share our cornerstone book on disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches for recreational fisheries management with a specific focus on understanding recreational fishers link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9… @icmcsic.bsky.social @imares-group.bsky.social @csic.es @csicdivulga.bsky.social

📢 This week, Beatriz Salvador have present the Shiny app we’re about to release during a workshop in the Czech Republic, as part of a project on digital data and invasive species. #InvasiveSpecies #HumanFear @icmcsic.bsky.social @cienciagob.bsky.social @valeriosbra.bsky.social

🚨Paper alert! 🐟 What do young Atlantic bluefin tuna eat in the Mediterranean? 📍 We studied their diet in the Gulf of Valencia over 30 years. 🔍 Have their habits changed? Are they affecting sardines and anchovies? 👇 Let’s dive in! @ICMCSIC #BluefinTuna #MedSea #MarineScience

1️⃣ What do fish do when they see a human underwater? We studied how white seabream (Diplodus sargus) react when approached by a snorkeler or a spearfisher. Do they flee sooner when alone or in a group? 🤿 #MarineScience #OceanLife @icmcsic.bsky.social  @valeriosbra.bsky.social

The three academic positions (Lecturer/Senior Lecturer) in the School of Biological Sciences at Monash University are now advertised. Details here: Ecology: careers.pageuppeople.com/513/cw/en/jo... Genomics: careers.pageuppeople.com/513/cw/en/jo...

Our new piece is out! Happy to have integrated possible scenarios of cultural integration of invasive species in recreational fishing! @imares-group.bsky.social @csic.es

Speaker alert! We’re excited to welcome Dr. Nelly Isigi Kadagi from @wwfafrica.bsky.social to #WRFC11 – happening in Mpekweni, South Africa in Feb 2026. She’s a global leader in rec fisheries, conservation education, and billfish science. Submit Abstracts Here: www.wrfc11.com/abstracts 6 Days Left!

Happy to participate again at the WRFC and deliver a keynote on how we are combining classic and emerging approaches in recreational fisheries! @imares-group.bsky.social @csic.es

🎣 Thinking about attending #WRFC11 in South Africa? Still on the fence? This recent paper reflects on 30 years of global recreational fisheries conferences—and why they matter more than ever. A must-read for anyone invested in the future of the field. 🐟👇 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🛥️What does environmental stewardship mean? 🤔 A new study shows that differing definitions can cause conservation conflicts. Using thought experiments and the Delphi process, researchers highlight how understanding these differences improves management. 🔗https://lc.cx/qUutw0 @valeriosbra.bsky.social

🎣Our researcher @valeriosbra.bsky.social took his session on the ecology and social aspects of spearfishing at Università di Pisa. Since 2020/21, he’s shared his knowledge in this course by Prof. Ferruccio Maltagliati. #RecreationalFishing #Ecology @imares-group.bsky.social @ICMCSIC

Always a pleasure to visit you Robert and discuss science and new ideas! Now we need to find 2 lives to put in action all the things we discussed...

Our last contribution to understand how fish adjust their behaviour to underwater human presence. It seems that fieldwork alone is not sufficient to fully reveal the role of group size in modulating flight initiation distance 🤔 @imares-group.bsky.social link.springer.com/article/10.1...
