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

📑 #NewStudy by Hughes et al. develops a simplified approach to describe the post-capture body condition of #fish caught and released in recreational fisheries.
A useful initial step to quantifying post-capture survival, for #sustainable management of #fisheries.

Not actually true David. Population estimates for skate are increasing 📈harbour health is best it’s been in a decade. It’s naturally v low in DO. Aquaculture in MH now subject to nitrogen cap etc. They are being bred in captivity too. I can send you links to latest publications if you like.

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
Time for some good news!

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.
