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

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

NOAA manages large ocean fisheries in US waters. Scientists there conduct surveys, sample fish, and run complex models to estimate the levels of sustainable catches. NOAA is recognized as a world leader in creating jobs, producing food, and avoiding overfishing. Kudos to NOAA fisheries!!!!

Lucky enough to watch southern eagle rays (Myliobatis tenuicaudatus) in very shallow waters throughout the summer. Thankfully it’s a shark/ray nursery area.
