A little more #sharkscience from my #PhD at @one-cardiffuni.bsky.social - a Short Communication published in Marine Biodiversity by @springernature.com. A fortuitous finding from #BRUVS sampling in #CardiganBay Special Area of Conservation in the UK - a #piebald leucistic smallspotted #catshark.

Thanks team for a great week of fieldwork collecting BRUVS & eDNA data for @cbmwc.bsky.social @wtsww.bsky.social DolphinDietDetectives project. 🌊🐟🐬🐠🦀 @neildcook.bsky.social @hannahvallin.bsky.social @guibortolotto.bsky.social

Beautiful morning for a day on the sea in Cardigan Bay. 🌊🐬🐟 Off to collect data for @cbmwc.bsky.social @wtsww.bsky.social #NatureNetworksFund project #DolphinDietsDetectives with @neildcook.bsky.social @guibortolotto.bsky.social

Next bit of fieldwork with @sarahperry.bsky.social, @cbmwc.bsky.social and co is just around the corner - watch this space! 💙 🦈 🌊 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Goosebumps moment when this #angelshark cruised past our #BRUVS - such a thrill to work with this team on this brilliant project! Excited for more sampling and future findings - watch this space! #criticallyendangered #sharks #sharkscience #marineconservation

A peek 👀 behind the scenes of our recent BRUVS deployments as part of our #NatureNetworksFund #DolphinDietDetectives project 📹🛥️🐟. #MarineResearch #CardiganBay #BRUVS #cbmwc #wtsww @sarahperry.bsky.social @neildcook.bsky.social @guibortolotto.bsky.social @maddydemarchis.bsky.social

A great day getting to know the locals and the local history in a beautiful part of Portugal

Excited for the next round of fieldwork with this crew in a couple of weeks!

Always a joy being on the sea in Cardigan Bay - even better when doing some #science with @cbmwc.bsky.social and co!

Happy to share some more #sharkscience from my #PhD, recently published in Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science. We used smallspotted #catsharks (n = 49) as a model species for Northeast Atlantic elasmobranchs to demonstrate regional applicability of LA-ICP-MS to investigate habitat use.

Yesterday our new #globalsharktrends paper came out in @science.org @nickdulvy.bsky.social did a great thread on the paper and included some GIFs that we had made but they did not play here on @bsky.app I'm hoping this now works. Status change through time... science.org/doi/10.1126/...

New #GlobalSharkTrends study published in @science.org reveals #overfishing has more than halved shark & ray populations over the past 50-years causing widespread erosion of ecological function and exceptionally high extinction risk 👉Full article bit.ly/GlobalSharkTrends 🧵1/20

BREAKING: The IUCN Species Survival Commission Shark Specialist Group has released a new report on the global conservation status of sharks and their relatives. portals.iucn.org/library/node...

Remote underwater video is a great non-invasive way of sampling the aquatic world. Here are some researchers using this method. Let me know if you want to be added #BRUVS #RUVS 🧪🌎🦑🦈🐟🐠 go.bsky.app/2HSH6Cg

As a newbie here I'll post recent(ish) research shorturl.at/PSW7r 𝐁𝐲𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐄 𝐀𝐭𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜 (𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐡 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬)  w @sosbangor.bsky.social fisheries team 10,741 pots, 4+years, all seasons: 1529 fish, 30 species Most frequent fish: a 🐱🦈 species (bullhuss/nursehound)

First post (gulp) is some #PhD #SharkScience work recently published. Working with @cbmwc.bsky.social we use #BRUVS to document heterogeneous habitat use in nursehounds and smallspotted catsharks in #CardiganBay UK - temporal niche partitioning may facilitate coexistence but more research is needed
