did any of y’all buy that longsleeve? i’m curious about the sizing 🥹 if i want it a bit oversized, should i get my usual size or go one (or even two) sizes up? and how’s the material, is it nice?

This expedition would not have been possible without the generous support of the Minderoo Foundation and the Minderoo OceanOmics Centre, the partnership between the Australian Museum and the California Academy of Sciences!

We collected, photographed, and accessioned over 350 specimens from close to 200 species, seven of which are potentially new to science, and 13 are new for Australia.

Last month we wrapped up our last of two expeditions to some of the most scenic locations in the Great Barrier Reef and the Coral Sea, with the best expedition team I could have asked for.

Sssh.. No moth here. Only bird leg. Now go.

We were so blind….

Our newest scientist spotlight is Dr. Yi-Kai Tea @FishGuyKai, a systematic ichthyologist with an interest in the taxonomy, biodiversity, and evolution of coral reef fishes, particularly wrasses!

⁦An amazing talk on mesophotic fish given by @FishGuyKai⁩😱 at #IPFC12 in Taiwan. So many new records for Australia from the deep(er) sea😍

Pseudojuloides edwardi Quite possibly the most beautiful wrasse in existence

You can pre-order the book now from sydneyharbourfishes.company.site for AU$50 (excluding shipping). We're operating off a small grant, so pre-orders will help contribute to how many books we can initially print, and all money that we make from sales will be fed back into printing copies.

This 700+ page book will be the first guide to every known fish species from Sydney Harbour, and will feature over 2,500 colour photographs across more than 700 species, contributed by over 300 photographers. Almost all of these photographs are sourced from Australasian Fishes.

Over the last year, I've helped play a small part in assisting a team of fantastic co-authors on a comprehensive field guide to the fishes of Sydney Harbour. We are now in the final stages of compiling this book, and we're hoping to have it printed by early to mid-May.

@jmhuiee CONGRATS!!!! So well deserved
