Thanks to Chief Scientist for South Australia for last night #SAScienceAwards celebrations and recognition of our research. Congratulations to all winners!

Congratulations to James Whitelaw and Brad Hayman for delivering great presentations about their Honours projects #drones #biochem #SharkScience

BREAKING: The IUCN Species Survival Commission Shark Specialist Group has released a new report on the global conservation status of sharks and their relatives. portals.iucn.org/library/node/5…

While most people who think about shark conservation think primarily about the global trade in shark fins, the global trade in shark meat is larger in volume and value, impacting different species and involving different markets.

New #GlobalSharkTrends study published in Science Magazine reveals that #overfishing has more than halved shark & ray populations over the past 50-years causing widespread erosion of ecological function and exceptionally high extinction risk 👉🏽Full article bit.ly/GlobalSharkTre…

New study finds overfishing has halved shark and ray populations since 1970 #GlobalSharkTrends based on our new paper, email if you need a copy: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… sfu.ca/sfunews/storie…

Flinders University PhD candidate Chloe Roberts has played a key role in a community-driven campaign with to protect South Australia's endangered #sharks and #rays. More info 🌊 bit.ly/3ZJty99.

New paper in Journal of Fish Biology by H. Malcolm and I. We assess the abundance and size of the threatened Black Rockcod (Epinephelus daemelii). Although protected for over 40 years, the species is still not recovering along the NSW coast - Australia. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jf…

Thanks to Integrated Marine Observing System for highlighting @ChloeNRoberts_ PhD project in the recent Marine Matters tinyurl.com/MarineMatters

Last one for the year and first paper of Dr Joshua Dennis (recently graduated)‘s PhD now out in fsbi issue. Developing new methods to count and estimate abundance of schooling pelagic fish

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.100… Dr. Michael Doane and #EwanBurns lead this comparison of fish assemblages between BRUVS and eDNA. Only 17 of 102 species recorded by both methods. 40% increase in species-level detections by combining datasets. Collab with SA Department for Environment & Water and Australian Marine Parks

📑 #NewStudy by Burns et al. finds complementary results using two #fish community monitoring systems – BRUVS and #eDNA – in the Great Australian Bight. Both methods distinguished depth-dependent communities. 👀 buff.ly/41TgtMZ Flinders University Griffith University SA Government

Fun facts for #NorfolkShark migrations: -Most individuals were females >3.5m TL -88% of sharks tracked across multiple seasons returned to NFK at least once -The longest track was close to 17,000 km over 468 days -63% of sharks were detected at New Caledonia

Another year, another trip on Norfolk Island, but this time to deploy SPLASH tags to record tiger shark use of the water column across their migrations #NorfolkSharks

With >50% of tiger shark diet on Norfolk Island being bird, it made sense to start learning more about Norfolk's seabirds New project targeting shearwater movement and rafting ecology just started in collaboration with #NicholasCarlile James Cook Uni Biopixel UniSC: University of the Sunshine Coast

Since 2020, we've been coming to Norfolk Island to study shark movements in relation to human activities. This year, we presented our findings and report to the community, Norfolk Council and Australian Marine Parks Amazing to have 150 people attending the event! #NorfolkSharks

Perfect timing with our 2025 Norfolk Island trip: new paper on tiger shark movement just out #NorfolkSharks doi.org/10.1016/j.mare… 35 tiger sharks (avg size 4 m) satellite tracked over 5 years Led to the designation of Important Shark and Ray Areas - ISRAs's Norfolk Ridge sharkrayareas.org/portfolio-item…
