Can you detect High Path Avian Flu from water samples collected on 5um Self-Preserving eDNA filters? I don't know. Hopefully we'll find out shortly...

It's been a long time coming, but the SRI #eDNA Autosampler finally made it to the website. 🥳 We'll be adding more details and sprucing it up, but it's good to have this Live for our first production run in Apr. store.smith-root.com/products/edna-… smith-root.com/edna/edna-auto…

Second session by Austen Thomas from Smith-Root talking about #eDNA sampling methods. One of the first names Rajeev Raghavan #fishlab and I heard when we started working on #eDNA few years back. Naiara R-Ezpeleta AZTI FSBI Symposium fsbi

Heading outside for a demo with Austen Thomas, looking at an #eDNA #CitizenScience sampling kit! Spot the Guggenheim taking a sneaky listen to the specs on this piece of kit 👂 #FSBI2024

I officially need to work on making better facial expressions while giving sampling demos. I'm sorry 🤦‍♂️😭🤣

So cool!!! Finally getting to see the RoCSI automated eDNA sampler by McLane Research Labs at #FSBI2024 An ingeniously simple design for a submersible instrument with sterivex filters. 👏👏👏

Another fantastic evening socialising and networking with all the lovely fish people at #FSBI2024. Couldn't have asked for better surroundings, with the most picturesque, sun filled, boat ride down Nervión River. Followed up with a quick tram ride down to Bilbao old town!

Fascinating talk by Filipe O. Costa evaluating the impacts of filtration volume on #eDNA species richness. 80% of species detected at 5L. Continued to detect more species up to 10L max tested volume. 👀 Looks like 47mm membranes. #FSBI2024 fsbi

Inspiring and terrifying talk by @stefanako71 about systemic seafood mislabeling in our supply chains - both fresh and processed. Take home for me: we should all go home and work with our local schools to develop curricula for seafood identification👇 seatraces.eu/game/index.html

A huge congratulations to this year's poster and talk winners, Gaëlle Brahy and Lisette Delgado, respectively, and those in second place, Oriol Canals and Maddalena Tibone. Very well deserved! The overall quality of posts/talks was superb, making it a tough choice! #FSBI2024

It feels like #FSBI2024 was a lifetime ago, now! But as we reflect on the conference, we'd like to extend further massive thanks to Naiara R-Ezpeleta, the local organising committee, the scientific advisory comittee and YOU, the conference attendees, for creating the perfect meeting!
