Bloodsucking parasite, but it’s a native fish! Check out this native lamprey (compared to invasive Sea Lamprey) on a Northern Pike in a Minnesota River. Parasitic lamprey species attached to hosts, rasp a hole and suck blood (but native species don’t typically cause death). Both fishes released!

Forgot to cross post, so it’s a dah behind. Better late than never Although colorful enough to be a REEF fish, I painted it for the RIFT prompt of #sciartseptember and this week’s #sundayfishsketch. Haplochromis obliquidens, a cichlid from Lake Victoria and the rift system of East Africa

I stumbled on to a secret meeting 😅

BOWFIN: air-breathing fish and gar’s closest relative, are challenging to wrangle! The @garlab.bsky.social team recently collected several for native fishes research in Minnesota!

22. Fellowship. A goby/pistol shrimp pair. Sometimes I think about getting a tattoo of these. #SciArtSeptember #SciArt #SundayFishSketch bonus

21. Mimic. Shrimpfish. I've seen these in FNQ and they look just like leaves or bits of seagrass floating. #SciArtSeptember #SciArt #Catchup #SundayFishSketch

Since I pulled it up to assign as a reading for my shark biology course: Remember Charlotte the stingray, who appeared pregnant despite being the only stingray in her tank? www.southernfriedscience.com/no-a-shark-d...

Ah yes, the three primary colors

For #SundayFishSketch and #SciArtSeptember #reef theme, here's my completed epaulette shark tile from my first ever ceramic paining and glazing attempt! Hard to photograph because it's sooo glossy!

For Reef, an older piece of a Sheepshead Pareotfish from a lab get together (because I miss them 🥲) and because I am drowning in chores today #SundayFishSketch #SciArtSeptember

I thought they just played scales. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

The P. sauvagei from Lake Victoria are so far great fish. One of the most common Victorians in the hobby in part because, unlike most ‚Haplochromis‘-relatives, the females are also colorful. My trio is still young, will be interesting to see them growing up. 🐟 #fishkeeping #photography

For the REEF theme of #SundayFishSketch and #SciArtSeptember I went with the Gag Grouper.

Episode 62 is live today! We are joined by Dr. Kory Evans of Rice University, to learn all about fish evolution through the lens of fish skulls! What can skulls teach us about the diversity of fishes throughout time? Check out the episode to find out!

That's GROUPERS. With a "U" not a "Y" We just want the FCC to understand that we know this. www.popsci.com/environment/...

I am deeply skeptical of the idea that finding the individual shark that bit a person and hunting it down is a good solution for beach safety, and I said so in this piece. 🧪🌎🦑🦈 www.biographic.com/to-catch-a-k...

A few weeks ago, one of our graduate students Mary Gardella went out with Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for her thesis work. Mary is using passive acoustic telemetry to track the movement of Bluntnose stingrays in the Indian River Lagoon, FL.

Fishes from the deep can be cute, too! Chromis tingting 婷氏光鰓雀鯛 is a damselfish at home in mesophotic reefs. And @kaithefishguy.bsky.social named this species after his mum! For #SciArtSeptember #Depths theme. #TaiwanFishes #台灣魚類 Day 19/30 🦑🐡🧪

fish want me. you want fish. you want fish hanging on your wall #ceramics drop on sept 21, 8pm CT

For #SciArtSeptember #Cenote theme here is Typhlias pearsei / sak kay / dama blanca ciega. It's a blind, cave-adapted, viviparous brotula that tops out around 10 cm but gives birth "to up to a dozen young... about 2.4 to 3.7 cm in length" 😱 #MéxicoFishes Day 18/30 🦑🐡🧪

Hairtails like Trichiurus lepturus 白帶魚 are a big target of trawl fishery in Taiwan, and they are often found fresh in the morning traditional markets or cleaned and vacuum-packed in the freezer section of supermarkets. For #SciArtSeptember #Trawl theme. #TaiwanFishes #台灣魚類 Day 17/30 🦑🐡🧪

For cenote, the Mayan tetra #SciArtSeptember

#SciArtSeptember 18 - Cenote Cenotes are sinkholes with unique fish faunas, found all over the world but especially common on the Yukatán Peninsula lining the Chicxulub crater, formed by the asteroid that ended the time of the dinosaurs. Big events still impact the world after millions of years.

#SciArtSeptember: Rift Strawberry Peacock Cichlid, which lives in Lake Malawi, part of the East African Rift system. #Art

Day 16: Rift #sciartseptember . Deep in the sea numerous species often call the numerous submarine canyons as home including the curious and adorable rattails

#SciArtSeptember Day 17: Trawl Bottom trawling scrapes seafloors and hauls huge bycatch, altering entire food webs and destroying entire ecosystems. I do not, however, have an answer/solution besides reducing our seafood demand...any sustainable (for real) fisheries you know of? #SciArt

#SciArtSeptember 17 - Trawl Bottom trawling has a devastating effect on deep-sea fish, including the roundnose grenadier, which is now classified as critically endangered. Like other deep-sea fish, the grenadier grows and reproduces slowly, making it unable to tolerate industrial fishing.

🦑🧪 Today is #WorldMantaDay! An incredible and truly unbelievable species – but sadly, threatened. In the image you’ll find a whole bunch of rays: eagle rays, stingrays, guitarfish, butterfly rays and so on. All of them part of this fascinating world that we can still find beneath the surface. 🌍💙

🐟 #photography #fishkeeping #cichlid

It's #WorldMantaDay! This year's theme focuses on the power of protection for these majestic creatures. From international trade and overfishing to unregulated tourism and climate breakdown, they face growing threats. Global organisations are calling for stronger protections. #WorldMantaDay2025

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!

Joining the African Rift Lakes party with Cyprichromis leptosoma (I know, everyone is shocked I picked a cichlid) for the rift theme. Reference photo from this was one of Ad Konigs from the Lake Tanganyika book my advisor gave me for graduation! #SciArtSeptember

#SundayFishSketch sorry for my long absence. No fishy puzzles recently. This one is a donation for the upcoming North American Sturgeon and Paddlefish conference. My best attempt at a shovelnose sturgeon. A gift from @amfisheriessoc.bsky.social

Not sure 8cm counts as "giant" but alas we have Rhinogobius gigas 大吻鰕虎 here—a beautiful goby endemic to drainages along Taiwan's East Rift Valley 花東縱谷 formed by the Chihshang Fault 池上段層。For #SciArtSeptember #Rift theme. #TaiwanFishes #台灣魚類 Day 16/30 🐡🦑🧪
