We’ve published another new genus and four new species of seagrass-specialist clingfishes (Gobiesocidae) from temperate southern Australia.

Sad to be reporting the dire state many FW fishes are in. In a recent paper, led by Lintermans we used IUCN criteria & found that 37% of Australia's 241 FW fish species are Threatened plus 7% Near-threatened. Threats: invasives, habitat change & climate change. SW Aust is worst = 55% Threatened!

well, here it is lads
after combing through some 1,400 records, it looks like the slender-billed curlew is indeed extinct and the last known photo taken in 1995 was probably at the point it slipped beneath the waves 🦉🧪

The slender-billed curlew is declared extinct
This is the first mainland European bird declared extinct in 500 years.

First post in the new world order.
A photo of the stunning Herring Cale Heteroscarus acroptilus - endemic to southern Australia. Its an odacine (=wrasse, fam. Labridae). One of very few specialist kelp-eating fishes.
