Today’s second #ASFB2025 plenary was from Madeline Green, who took us from her fishing-obsessed childhood to current research using molecular monitoring to help manage fisheries 🧬🎣

Madeline received the ASFB’s ERC International Travel Award, allowing her to visit Iceland to present her research ✈️
