BRAND NEW #RESEARCH - Out now here: link.springer.com/article/10.100…! #BRUV surveys in TCI reveal discrete foraging #behaviours in Nurse sharks. FOUR novel behaviours identified, showcasing Nurse #sharks as important species for energy flow across tropical seascapes. Pls LIKE & RT! 🦈🦈🦈

What an amazing turnout of early career scientists at Marine Biological Association PG Conference 2024! Lots of sharing, networking and collaboration already happening, we can’t wait to see what happens next! #Aberystwyth #MBAPG23

Starting the afternoon with 'Assessing the effectiveness of LEDs as a bycatch-reducing device for elasmobranchs in a laboratory setting' presented by Jasmine Somerville #MBAPG23 #fisheries #aquaculture

Had such a good time meeting other marine ECRs at the Marine Biological Association PG Conference 2024 and hearing about so many fascinating research topics! Already looking forward to next year 🦈

Give this a listen for a refreshing take on marine science topics!

Very excited to start our first day of trawl gear light trials with Jasmine Somerville @SNTechUK MBA Ecology Group MBA - Marine Biological Association 😎🤟

🦈I've been wanting to make a series on British shark species for years so it's been amazing to work with The Biome Project alongside many other amazing contributors to help bring this dream to life. 👩🏼‍🔬ft. Jasmine Somerville research 📍National Marine Aquarium @SNTechUK youtube.com/watch?v=a-M9oJ…

It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to share my research for this film! And special thanks to the MBA - Marine Biological Association for facilitating the experiments 🦈 @ExeterMarine Martin Stevens

Great to see the latest technology being used to tackle contemporary environmental challenges: '#AI empowered #fishing net to help prevent marine #bycatch' hw.ac.uk/news/articles/… Well done to Paul Fernandes & all involved 👏 HT @micheljkaiser

Join marine biologists Liberty Denman & Jasmine Somerville as they dive deeper into shark #bycatch in UK waters. Jasmine is using Pisces Lights, developed by us at @SNTechUK , to study #fish behaviour & bycatch solutions. National Marine Aquarium The Biome Project 👉bit.ly/3pB7iju

I don’t often share milestones on here, but recently I’ve had a great personal one. #SharkBytes has hit 50,000 subscribers! 🎉 To those of you out there who tune in every Sunday, I can’t thank you enough for all of your support - 100k here we come 💙🦈 youtube.com/@SHARKBYTES

Skate doin’ an escape. Great video footage here focusing on my housemate Jasmine Somerville’s research. She’s testing how different #elasmobranch species react to LEDs in an attempt to reduce their bycatch!

Penultimate trawl light trials with Jasmine Somerville We encountered two beautiful Scyliorhinus stellaris which were recorded & released 🤩 Great survey! MBA - Marine Biological Association MBA Ecology Group @SNTechUK

Hi everyone be sure to check out brains vs prawns a joint game, made by me and the amazing Rafael Duarte, investigating how invasive seaweeds might impact the camouflage of prawns. Every play contributes to visual-ecology.com/prawngame-info/

Excited to share my first paper from my PhD, which is now published in Fish and Fisheries! We applied a vision model to bycatch-reduction with light, to find the most visible light colour to bycatch species across different depths and ocean types. doi.org/10.1111/faf.12…

Massive congratulations to Jasmine Somerville! It's been a pleasure to accompany your journey from #PhD candidate with us and @ExeterMarine and now into a fully fledged Dr. You can access her paper on #bycatch reduction lights here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/fa…

We're proud to highlight Jasmine Somerville latest paper exploring how lights can potentially reduce unwanted #bycatch in #CommercialFishing. 📄hubs.ly/Q02yQ4mV0 Thank you, Jasmine, for joining us last week & sharing more about your ongoing #fisheries research!@ExeterMarine

Jasmine Somerville is a marine scientist with us, who focus on the application of animal sensory ecology to inform technologies to reduce human impacts on the environment. Her PhD evaluated the use of artificial light to reduce bycatch in fishing. #MarineBiology #Bycatch
