A first for Cupar Sub Aqua Club in Loch Sunart - and only my second after several hundred UK dives - a spiny lobster/crawfish. Even familiar dives can throw up unusual surprises!

New paper finally out! We tested whether a 660 nm laser scanner, designed to automate crustacean data collection, affects prawn eyes 👁️🦐
📉 Single scans: no detectable issues
📈 Repeated scans: subtle tissue changes emerge

Our paper, "Assessing the effect of 660nm laser imaging on crustacean eyes," is accepted in PLOS ONE! 🦐🔬
We explore how Class 3R lasers affect white-legged prawn eyes, paving the way for ethical, tech-driven, size-based stock assessment. 🌊

At Pyramids of Life, we're working on a framework for creating size-spectrum Mizer models from diverse empirical data sources. By streamlining parameterisation and calibration, we're enabling more robust marine ecosystem insights. A paper and package are in progress - stay tuned! 🐟📊 #MarineScience

Hello, BlueSky! After contemplation, I’ve decided to join this platform and start fresh. I’m here to rebuild my network and find meaningful interactions in a more pleasant online space. Looking forward to connecting over science, the marine environment, and big ol' hills!
