The last proposal for sharks has just passed at #CITESCoP20. Gulper Sharks have been adopted into Appendix II of CITES.

This marks a major victory for sharks and rays as all proposals have been adopted!

An IMAS-led study reveals the environmental footprint of fish feeds depends more on where feed ingredients are sourced than on whether they are fish- or plant-based. It shows that knowing where & how ingredients are produced is key to reducing environmental footprint 🐠https://tinyurl.com/3fk5sjn9

Not actually true David. Population estimates for skate are increasing πŸ“ˆharbour health is best it’s been in a decade. It’s naturally v low in DO. Aquaculture in MH now subject to nitrogen cap etc. They are being bred in captivity too. I can send you links to latest publications if you like.

It’s nice to share good science news. In general, good news travels much more slowly πŸ¦₯ than bad news πŸ† especially on social media.

It’s happening and the harbour health has improved. Also many skates in captivity & population estimate for 2024 is πŸ“ˆ

No salmon expansion has been proposed for the harbour, and UTas has recently found the population estimate to have improved to 2014 levels. I can share the link if you would like to see the latest data.

Our scientists have seen a recent upward trend in the relative abundance of Maugean skate in Macquarie Harbour.

It’s a potential sign that the wild population of this iconic endangered species has improved, with research catch rates returning to levels last seen in 2014: utas.au/gs
