Last week we came across a non native, drifting bull kelp (Durvillea) in Ryder Bay @BAS_News Rafts can transport other non native species to the continent. We found open water goose barnacles (Lepas australis). These are not a threat but harmful invaders can also hitch a ride

Today we set up baited underwater camera traps and took samples for gut content and stable isotope analysis to assess if fishes utilise aquaculture sites as a habitat and feeding ground for @SeaweedSophβs PhD! π£ππ β΄
