Hey Tom Gleeson still can't believe you didn't want to touch the White Shark (Great White)! #SecretsOfTheAusMuseum

For all you keen citizen scientists. Here's a terrific new project to sink your teeth into. There are even prizes for high achievers. :) inaturalist.org/projects/austr…

The message is getting out! Even Australian Museum understands that sawsharks are not sawfish. Great to see people exposed to the poorly known sharks

Marsupials do things differently 🦘 Dr Mark Eldridge Australian Museum tells us about their remarkable and complicated anatomy with Australian Geographic australiangeographic.com.au/news/2022/12/d…

Second presentation of ITRS complete! Happy to share our recently published work on all known fishes in Sydney Harbour lead by Joseph DiBattista and the Australian Museum. Both myself and the poster are here all week if you want to know more! #ITRS2023 Amanda Hay

We found this critter in the South East Australian Marine Ecosystem Survey #SEAMES today at 300m depth. It is a sea bat. CSIRO FRDC UN Ocean Decade

A factor motivating #SEAMES is the rate SE Aus waters are warming. Conditions from marineheatwaves.org say that E TAS is currently having a moderate warming event. How this affects nearby Marine Parks is why we are out here CSIRO FRDC UN Ocean Decade #RVInvestigator

#SEAMES is revisiting an earlier 1990's ecosystem survey to see has changed. Here is 1 of 10 species seen so far that was not caught in the original survey. A Sydney Skate. A big thank-you to fishgirl for all the help. #RVInvestigator CSIRO FRDC UN Ocean Decade

We sampled at 500m yesterday, and found this Coffin fish, and a few Glass eels. I can't stress the importance of the #taxonomists, fishgirl on #SEAMES and an excitable and eager Science team are grateful for their patience CSIRO FRDC UN Ocean Decade

Hundreds of baby seahorses moved to Sydney Harbour ‘hotels’ in world’s biggest release theguardian.com/australia-news…

Sygnathids, include sea horses and pipefish, are fascinating, surprisingly resilient and protected in Australia. #SEAMES caught these pregnant males - a term you don't see very often - on #RVInvestigator, and fishgirl released them alive. CSIRO FRDC UN Ocean Decade

Quarter of a million observations! inaturalist.org/projects/austr…

Everyone check it out! A new razor wrasse species has arrived, named after the Bakunawa: the Swallower of Moons! It has been a fun journey describing this razor wrasse species with KaiTheFishGuy, and shows that we still have so much to learn about reef fishes!

Enjoy this incredibly beautiful Genicanthus semifasciatus, the Yellow-masked Swallowtail Angelfish!

A new species of razor wrasse (Iniistius bakunawa) has been found hiding in plain sight 👀 Read more on the research led by the AM’s KaiTheFishGuy and Ken Elson Sorgon from the University of the Philippines Los Baños here: bit.ly/3RhBDiD 📸: Hiroyuki Motomura

Paracheilinus amanda is my 25th new species! I’ve had at least one every year since 2016. Inching my way to #30!

Easy to assume we know about the fishes of Australia and the Great Barrier Reef but this beautiful fish highlights we still have undescribed marine biodiversity. One new fish species is described as new or newly recorded each week for Australia, the count of 5200 still climbing!
