New sucker just dropped - Description of the Apalachicola Redhorse (Catostomidae: Moxostoma ) | Zootaxa share.google/ixQSEQq1DX3p...

#FoodieFriday We're celebrating Soup Season with a line-up of wonderful seafood-forward soups and chowders! This week, a walleye chowder that pairs freshwater and marine seafoods for a belly-warming final result:

I absolutely loved @megiddings.bsky.social’s book LAKEWOOD and it hugely helped me figure out the way forward for writing BIPOC characters who are experiencing trauma due to strange products changing the body. This blurb means THE 🌎. If you haven’t gone out and read Megan Giddings yet, go now!

Wake up, babe, a new species of Redhorse just dropped. Meet the Apalachicola Redhorse (Moxostoma antelunare), which is found throughout the Apalachicola River Drainage as well as Enconfina Creek in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. 🐟🧪 www.mapress.com/zt/article/v...

The lowly muskrat could be an unexpected ally in the push against aquatic invasive plants:

Does tidal marsh #restoration "work", if the goal is bringing back key species AND the trophic interactions that support them? A thousand stable isotope samples later, we have answers! 💯 work by PhD student Megan Pagliaro: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... #SanFrancisco #BayDelta

RAVISHING comes out in less than a month and all I can do is hope she finds the readers she’s dedicated to 💗💗

#GreatLakes whitefish (Atikameg) - a once-abundant and culturally important staple of the region - is in trouble. Faced with lakes transformed by invasive zebra and quagga mussels, some are proposing "pond rescue" as a potential way to save the species from collapse bridgemi.com/michigan-env...

BIG Bigmouth Buffalo fish! These native freshwater planktivores can live for over 100 years! We caught, fin-clipped, released several during yesterday’s @garlab.bsky.social native fishes survey!

Fun time last week looking at a historic eel weir and mussel survey on the Schuylkill - underwater videos coming soon!🐟🐟🐟🐟

"Saving our Sturgeon," a children's book about Wisconsin's beloved big fish, is out now! Written by Rebecca Hogue Wojahn, the book tells the story of how people came together to save the lake sturgeon – a prehistoric fish that can live up to 150 years. www.seagrant.wisc.edu/news/new-chi...

Great article on the angling and food value of Freshwater Drum, an often overlooked de facto game fish! magazine.outdoornebraska.gov/blogs/in-the...

They do NOT, this was much discussed when Tucson recently blocked the plan for a data center here; their best estimate was 180 jobs over 10 years which is basically nothing.

In honor of Mac’s new album, here is an oldie from the bird site days

Docile by Hyeseung Song If anyone is looking for a memoir especially those who moved around for academia and understand/experience the toll academia has on mental health.

Know anyone looking for a funded MS thesis project focused on native fish conservation? Send them this ad. NDOW and U. of Nevada-Reno are going to be learning more about this newly described species. (Note that the application deadline is quickly approaching.)

There is still time to make your voice heard and to make a difference. If the state approves funding in the weeks ahead—we may be able to avoid the cuts and maintain current service levels: fundseptanow.com#/2/. #ISEPTAPHILLY #HowWeRoll #FundSEPTA

The first aerial photographs, taken in 1858, captured Paris from a tethered balloon at an altitude of 1,600 feet.

Just ten days away, friends. I hope you’ll hit the streets and visit bookstores galore. ❤️ There’s been a lot of lovely press, but today I chatted with WHYY / Billy Penn. billypenn.com/2025/08/13/p...

late summer on the Delaware River

What do YOU know about eels?! @wowthanks.bsky.social asked some Indy Hall members and also our buddy Clear, who works next door. One thing's for certain: You need more eel facts. Get 'em at EelFacts.Net #EelReels

Converting previous land-uses to parks *can* provide many benefits, but doesn't erase environmental injustice. New interdisciplinary work drawing from urban forestry, historical ecology, and environmental justice - really glad to see this one out! esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

DO BETTER MeatEater. They historically promote responsible hunting, angling, and natural resource stewardship, but this bowfishing article is a step backwards. Why encourage excess harvest? Also invasive carp and native gar shouldn’t be in same category! www.themeateater.com/fish/general...

Went to the water shed today - literally. Such a cool space to engage and educate folks on flooding in Philly’s Germantown neighborhood.

Good news! Trump sought to eliminate NOAA's Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), which would have led to the closure of NOAA Research Labs. Among other important climate research, this would have meant eliminating the Keeling Curve. The Senate Appropriations Committee said no! bit.ly/3TShZKk

New research tracking the first-year survival rates for lake sturgeon released to a #GreatLakes tributary, the Maumee River, in 2018, 2019 + 2021 suggests that efforts are on track to achieve naturally-reproducing lake sturgeon in the river (hopefully) by 2038 news.utoledo.edu/index.php/07...

Getting people to RSVP to events is very challenging for event organizers in the summer. Everyone is on lackadaisical go-where-wind-takes-them mode in summer I guess? So if the Philly folks could give the post below a repost, I'd really appreciate that! I feel like I'm screaming into the void 😅

since “Sewer Star” popped back up in our mentions today, let’s revisit our classic “Like a Sturgeon”

Is #fishfriday a thing here? Found this dead flathead while monitoring shoreline trash earlier this week.

I was out twice this week with young environmental professionals and they weren’t aware the Delaware River is tidal which is HUGE and can impact their programming and projects - guess it’s time for a tidal station comms project/programming (webinar, fact sheet, social media post, etc.)
