Word of advice, if someone helps you, supervises the project, writes code, interprets data, comments on chapter drafts. Don’t then submit the paper without including them & suggest them as reviewer … plain stupidity and IP theft. Cool.

YEEES!!!! A fantastic opportunity by Acoustic Tracking Array Platform. If you're wanting to start a study on a shark or ray species in #SouthAfrica or are looking to bolster your current sample size, please apply! #sharkscience #telemetry

Calling all fish taxonomists! 📢 We already starting to think about the 2023 edition of the #NewSpecies report. Please give us a shout if there are any fish species described this year that you think should definitely be included! 🐟 🐠 🐡 shoalconservation.org/new-species-re…

This year’s Bleeker Award recipient is a GIANT in ichthyology and Australian fish systematics, which is ironic given that he specialises in TINY gobies. Doug Hoese, king of the gobies! A distinct honour to have contributed the cover image to his and John Carlo Eviota upcoming book! #IPFC11

19th Century fish holotypes confusing your taxonomy? Sequence them like de Quieroz et al. did for Psalidodon jequitinhonhae in this study just published in Neotropical Ichthyology. doi.org/10.1590/1982-0…

The SAIAB team joined forces with GCBR, Nuwejaars SMA Wetlands SMA, & SA Biodiversity for the GreatSouthernBioblitz!🐟 Using fyke & seine nets, they explored the Nuwejaars Wetlands and discovered unique freshwater fish like the Galaxias 'Nebula', Heuningnes Galaxias, and Cape kurper.🌍

Studying sharks at the Species Discovery Workshop, held at SAIAB in South Africa 🦈 Funded by the #OceanCensusAwards, shark and ray expert LostSharkGuy had the opportunity not just to describe new species, but to pass on his expertise to early career scientists.
