Why Marine Protected Areas Are Failing Silky Sharks New satellite tracking research shows that while MPAs help, they are far from enough for a highly mobile species heavily targeted by global fisheries and the fin trade. forbes.com/sites/melissac…

Migratory species don’t recognize borders – and this is especially true in the ocean. Tracking in the Eastern Tropical Pacific shows #silkysharks regularly leave protected areas, entering high-risk #fishing zones. Conservation must match their full range. Read more: bit.ly/3LVgJWj

@NickDulvy @NRF_SAIAB I'm in favor of Batteray

So #TorpedoTuesday happened! These we called #ShockRays because they have think wing that generate a 240volt shock thick wing organ of modified muscles cells that generate electricity ⚡️ to stun their prey.

Job opportunity with Guy Harvey Research Institute

The final chapter of my PhD is live now @RSocPublishing #ProcB!! Seasonally mediated niche partitioning in a vertically compressed pelagic predator guild | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences (royalsocietypublishing.org)

New from @NSUGHRI Diversity andspatiotemporal variation ofanEastern Tropical Pacific pelagic vertebrate community assessed withdrifting pelagic BRUVS rdcu.be/dordJ

Thrilled to have the latest chapter of my PhD featured on the COVER of @AnimalEcology. Thanks to all that made the research possible @NSUGHRI @NSUFlorida @GuyHarveyOcean @TropicStarLodge and many thanks to Jessica Harvey for capturing this incredible image!

A study using high-resolution biologging tags provides insights into the behavior & recovery periods of blue marlin & sailfish caught in recreational fisheries. Findings suggest that catch-and-release practices are effective for conserving populations bit.ly/3LT2Cwy

@FishGuyDave @NSUFlorida looks like a numbfish

🚨🚨New paper out today in @AnimalEcology! We used #biologging tags to look at the foraging behavior of #marlin and #sailfish above the world's largest #OxygenMinimumZone. Spoiler alert: they use the hypoxic boundary to their advantage while hunting. tinyurl.com/5n9b2n4e

Published! Combining animal-borne sensors and video, @rklogan et al. provide insights into the use of vertical fronts for hunting by marine predators, suggesting that they exploit the hypoxic boundary created by the world's largest oxygen minimum zone. 👇 doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

🚨 New paper!🚨 We used biologging tags with video cameras on #Sailfish, and document a rare one-on-one hunting event. Sailfish usually hunt in groups so this was really interesting to see. Out now in @SciReports rdcu.be/c4gGT

📣 BREAKING NEWS: It's FINAL! All four elasmobranch Appendix II listing proposals (re: requiem sharks, hammerheads, freshwater stingrays & guitarfishes) have been adopted at #CITESCoP19! Huge congratulations to all the Parties & NGOs behind these landmark decisions! #CITES4Sharks

📣 Breaking news! #ICCAT agrees world’s 1st int'l quota for shortfin mako🦈s. South Atlantic limit covers landings + discard mortality w/in level advised by scientists. Party allocations are calculated to cut landings by 40-60%. #SharkLeague press release: sharkleague.org/2022/11/21/fir…

Delighted to share our new #SharkScience paper in @ScienceAdvances Diving into the vertical dimension of elasmobranch movement ecology Available here: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… A short 🧵on #VerticalSharks 1/5 ps. thanks to Simon @MantaTrust for the infographic

NEW COLLABORATIVE PAPER: Our team, co-led by @DavidCurnick, compiled the first global synthesis of vertical habitat use by elasmobranchs. For more info, check out the infographic and #openaccess article science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… More tidbits in the 🧵below (1/4) #VerticalSharks

📢📢 1st chapter of my PhD is out now @ICES_ASC!! Huge thank you to my coauthors and everyone who made this study possible 🎉 @NSUGHRI @NSUFlorida @GuyHarveyOcean @TropicStarLodge #billfish #marlin #sailfish #catchandrelease #fishingforscience tinyurl.com/27m5p6ya

📣 It's the first #MakoMonday under a new 🇺🇸 Atlantic protection: a @NOAAFisheries shortfin mako shark retention ban prompted by an historic 2021 #ICCAT decision. Thanks to all who were able to #MakeTime4Makos and help secure these safeguards! 🙏 🦈 fisheries.noaa.gov/feature-story/…

Revered as the ‘sharkiest’ place on the planet, Galápagos is home to spectacular shark meet-ups. Now, through collaborative research @NSUGHRI @saveourseas @DarwinFound, the travel habits of a lesser-known species offer clues on how to keep it that way. saveourseas.com/uncovering-the…
