Highly and lowly domesticated endangered fish from a conservation hatchery diverge in their thermal physiology, transcriptome, and methylome Conservation hatcheries aim to produce fish for supplementation of wild populations, but hatchery environments may drive phenotypic divergence from wild fish. These diverged traits may have reduced fi...

Our collaborative study shows that hatchery domestication in Delta smelt elevates thermal tolerance but reduces plasticity, with transcriptome and methylome shifts influencing adaptation. Read the preprint here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Age and repeated collection interval effects on sperm motility in the endangered delta smelt Hypomesus transpacificus Understanding the reproductive dynamics of endangered species is crucial for effective conservation strategies. This study examines the impact of age and repeated collection interval on sperm...

Happy to share that our study is now out today, revealing that a 7-day interval between sperm collections is insufficient for full recovery, resulting in reduced sperm motilityβ€”regardless of male ageβ€”in the endangered delta smelt. Interested? Find it: doi.org/10.3354/esr0...

πŸŽ‰ A major milestone!

For the first time, we successfully fertilized and hatched Delta Smelt larvae using cryopreserved sperm.

This breakthrough offers new hope for the spawning success and conservation of this critically endangered species. Interested? Please see the video 😊

The final batch of endangered longfin smelt has hatched! Despite challenges in broodstock availability, we have 70,000+ larvae at 40 dph. Excited to track survival and growth performance at 80 & 300 dph with diet & tagging experiments. Huge thanks to our collaborators! #Conservation #Fisheries

Impact of ingested microplastics on phenotypic traits and biochemical parameters in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) juvenile - Aquaculture International The widespread contamination of aquatic environments by microplastics (MPs), alongside other pollutants, has emerged as a critical global concern, posing significant risks to fish populations. This st...

πŸš€ New Publication Alert!

Our study reveals how microplastic ingestion affects survival, growth, and immunity in tilapia.

I contributed to study design, data analysis, and visualization. Thanks to my co-authors and collaborators for their efforts!

The experiment is underway. After being tagged with various kinds of tags, we will observe the performance of our F1 juveniles of the endangered Longfin smelt. Anticipating an intriguing event.

So excited to see the 1st batch of our endangered longfin smelt’s hatchlings are playing in the incubator. Looking forward to using them for future studies.

Paper alert! In this study, we show how salinity and body size influence sperm motility in three California smelt fish: the endangered delta smelt and longfin smelt, and the invasive wakasagi. It’s an open access one. Link: kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F...
