Arguably the coolest PhD project ever. We are so excited to see these reef mantas getting detected on so many of our receivers positioned on #SouthAfrica's east coast!

In Mozambique & South Africa, new research has revealed the first recorded cross-border migrations of reef manta rays, uncovering their reliance on protected sanctuaries in the process. More in Nakia Cullain's blog below.

This little project on eagle rays has seen our equipment slowly creeping up the west coast of #SouthAfrica, which has always been a bit of a dead zone for us. In the words of Hannibal Smith, 'We love it when a plan comes together!'

Michelle Soekoe & team (Reel Science Co.), with @ATAP_ZA, have deployed the 1st acoustic receiver array on the west coast of South Africa. Strategically placed from St Helena to Velddrif, they are a major milestone for telemetry in the region.

Honestly, one of our favourite international conferences to attend! Looking forward to a week of pure #fish #telemetry 🐟
We're excited to announce that the 7th International Conference on Fish Telemetry website is now live and abstract submission is open. Spread the word please.🐟event.fourwaves.com/7thicft/…

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 🐟

DYK that #SouthAfrica has tons of endemic rays species, meaning they are found nowhere else in the world! One of these is the blue stingray, a ray that moves by moving its fins in a wave‐like manner (i.e. undulations).

The most incredible result is that one individual moved almost 500 km from its tagging site, which is the largest movement EVER recorded for a benthic undulatory ray in the entire world! Isn’t technology amazing?!
