Ryan Yont is a MS student USD EOSC w/ Dr. Ann Bowles & Dr. Steve Searcy as his advisors. The images were collected at the SeaWorld Marina with a hyperhemispheric-view camera. We saw a White Seabass, Black Surfperch, & a Bat Ray! #underwaterimaging #marinescience #WhiteSeabass

Baby Scallops! #aquaculture #fisheries #stem #marinebiology #research

We measure our juvenile California halibut in our thermal rearing system w/ temps from 15C/59F - 23C/73F to monitor growth and sex ratios when halibut. Why? To understand how things like climate change may influence this species. #Aquaculture #MarineScience #ClimateChange

This month, we are assessing our broodstock populations. Up first our F1 California Yellowtail. We record length and weight & assess the overall health of each fish. For all of our broodstock populations, we determine the sex of each individual using cannulation. Seen here.

Let's check in on our California halibut! 1st we lower the water and carefully guide the fish into a sling. Next, we identify fish from their tag & measure length & weight to assess growth over the year. Finally, our veterinarian assesses the fish for any health issues.

Why did the fisherman want to go fishing in Southern California? 🎣 Just for the halibut.🐟 #TeamFish #Fish

Need a craft this holiday season? Why not support a jawesome organization and get crafty at the same time!

How would you release 2,000+ fish from our raceway pens to the ocean? Our staff has worked carefully to engineer a system allowing efficient fish release with safety and stress minimization in mind. #WhiteSeabass #SustainableSeafood #Aquaculture

We recently responded to a heartbreaking #dolphin entanglement. We are very grateful to our local community, SeaWorld , and NOAA for their assistance. You can help tackle this growing problem by #recycling fishing line and reporting entangled dolphins to MyFWC: 1-888-404-FWCC.

We celebrated 60 incredible years of ocean science and conservation! We are grateful for our community's support. Over the next few weeks, we will share our 5-year strategic science plan, guiding us toward new discoveries and conservation goals. #OceanConservation #Gratitude

It was a festive release for our white seabass! #SanClementeHighSchool students released their fish. Delivered at 8g in October the fish doubled in size over the semester! #seabassintheclassroom #whiteseabass #aquaculture #education #science #STEM #sustainableseafood

So excited to welcome Audra!

This is incredibly helpful. Thank you!

Interested in working on 🦈shark ecology and bycatch mitigation in 🐟tuna fisheries with me & Maria Grazia Pennino at Instituto Español de Oceanografía together with the AZTI tuna team in the Horizon Europe 🇪🇺 project #MarineBeacon. 👉We have 2 funded working opportunities 🙏Please RT, spread the word!

Excited to continue working with the team to test out low-cost camera and hydrophone systems to monitor biodiversity and behavior around structures in the oceans! This video is from a pilot study using a Insta360 that seems to work well at capturing what's going on below 🌊
