Fish time! This beauty is the Orange Cardinalfish Vincentia punctata - a true southern Australian endemic. From this morning’s dive at the rather ominously named Pointer Island #WudjariEsperanceBushBlitz #wudjaricountry Bush Blitz Parks Australia Western Australian Museum Minderoo Foundation


Gorgeous 💖 coralline algae encrusted boulders during #WudjariEsperanceBushBlitz in Recherche Archipelago- but can you 👀 the mollusc? Western Australian Museum Parks Australia Minderoo Foundation Bush Blitz



As #WudjariEsperanceBushBlitz begins to wind down, it is time to introduce this stunning example of Horseshoe Leatherjacket Meuschenia hippocrepis. I think the common name is self explanatory. Endemic to southern Australian reefs. Bush Blitz Parks Australia Western Australian Museum Minderoo Foundation


Sequencing at sea ✅ High fives all round 🙏🏻 Several expeditions later, this still amazes me. Incredible to have led this work with a stellar team @DNAussie_ Marcelle Ayad

Happy #DeepDay2023 We usually go full send at @deepseaUWA but yesterday we came up to 1000m at Christmas Island and filmed this six gill #shark - what a beauty! This project is with Parks Australia and @Minderoo and will collect eDNA from Australia's deepest Australian Marine Parks



That’s a wrap & what a success! Collected the deepest #eDNA samples onboard the #RVInvestigator – 6021m! We now have #eDNA samples from the tropics to Tasmania 🪼🐳. Thanks CSIRO for the berths!

Want to know what our OceanOmics team achieved over a 10-day expedition from Fremantle to Hobart aboard Australia’s dedicated ocean research vessel?👀 CSIRO Illumina Parks Australia Australian Marine Parks Deep Sea Research Centre


Dr. Eric Raes & Marcelle Ayad of Minderoo Foundation's OceanOmics program deployed our automated depth sampling device, Ascension, alongside a Niskin sampler to collect and compare #eDNA data.📈 Read the case study and view the data visualizations at hubs.ly/Q02z-HM40 #marinescience
