Having studied various aspects of multiple #SouthernAfrica marine #linefish species over the past (almost) 40 years, he has contributed significantly to what we currently know about these species. Colin will cover some monitoring work from the De Hoop #MPA over the past 40 years!
27 days๐
FOUR WEEKS until #6samls!
We have three brilliant keynote speakers for the #linefish Symposium. The first is Prof Colin Attwood from @UCT_news, a #marine linefish researcher and legend! He's also attended every single linefish symposium since its inception in 1989.

Learning more about the ecology of a #linefish species is only as good as knowledge of its biology (i.e. diet, reproduction, age, growth).
#6samls has 6 #SouthernAfrica life history talks lined up, focusing on species such as west coast steenbras, dusky kob & silver kob ๐

32 days until #6samls
We have two dedicated fish movement sessions covering talks on species such as iconic giant kingfish, to smaller mullet and blacktail, to commercially important smoothhound sharks!

33 days until #6samls๐
Things are slowly coming together, and what a jam-packed programme we have! With at least 60 talks spread across 12 sessions, we'll be getting some insight into the #linefish research currently being conducted in #SouthernAfrica

34 days to #6samls
Researchers are now able to study the presence of animals in a region based purely on DNA found in their environments, to generating entire genomes of individual species! To this end, we have 7 #linefish genetics talks to look forward to.

37 days to #6samls
The climate is changing, which is why itโs important to understand how #linefish abundance, movements behaviour may change. With 10 talks in our #climatechange theme, we canโt help but feel that our researchers and students are on it!

We have some fisher engagement talks on our #6samls programme, including celebrating 40 incredible years of the @saambr ORI Cooperative Fish Tagging Project, a #citizenscience project that is among the top ranked volunteer programmes around the๐, with >386 000 tag releases!

Itโs a no-brainer that the focus of the #SouthAfrican #marinescience #linefish symposium is linefish research (#duh). But we also have several overarching themes, including:
Angler engagement
Catch & release
#climatechange
#Fisheries
#Genetics
Life history
Monitoring & MPAs
Etc.

Absolute privelege to take part in such a great symposium with so many great people. I can confidently say that Southern Africa's linefish are in great hands with the quantity and quality of research taking place behind the scenes! #southafrica #linefish #marinescience

Such a privilege to present this keynote with Bruce at #samls2019. So many happy memories from the Eastern Cape here. Thank you to everyone, @SAFER_Lab team @wpotts18 and @childs_amber1 for a great symposium. One of the best!!
SA's government has recently approved 20 new MPAs. To start us off, Bruce and Judy Mann present on 'South Africa's coastal MPAs, haven for Linefish but are our fishermen supportive?'
