Another sample, from one of our smaller ponds this time. These Barbel and Tench have easily doubled in size from when they were stocked in June 😮
Lovely condition, fit for purpose fish ready for their trip into waters around the country later on this year!

A troglomorphism is a physical characteristic that has evolved in a species through adaptation to a subterranean habitat. I also like to consider organisms that have troglomorphisms but, instead, come from another microhabitat ( a couple included here).
Probably the most under-appreciated fish in Nova Scotia is the humble sand lance (Ammodytes sp.). Often seen in mesmerizing schools numbering in the hundreds if not thousands, they sustain so much of the coastal ecosystem, including other animals such as mackerel and terns.
Big day for the lab tomorrow! @anoopanjukunnu will defend his thesis on the taxonomy and biogeography of hillstream loaches of the genus Mesonoemacheilus

We went to @Swollfest at Grand Isle, Louisiana, last week and enjoyed fishing, food, music, dancing, and friends. Kenzi was their Inspirational Award recipient in 2021. She ended up with 6 flounder and some misc. species fish. A great time! #fishing#fishinglife#FishOn
11 more #sturgeon caught today during our survey in the #StClairRiver! Highlight was this fish that has a distinctive black “V” on its head. We last caught this fish in 2019 (1st photo) and the V is still obvious today (2nd photo)!

New paper out today, a thread. 5 years ago, fishermen brought us a specimen of this strange fish caught off Norway. We documented some aspects of its biology and hypothesized it arrived here due to warmer waters. Original paper available here: dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolb…
See Oxynoemacheilus isauricus, our latest nemacheilid fish described from Central Anatolia. We name it after the ancient name for Isauria. A very slender species what makes it so elegant and unique in O. angorae group. @jorg_freyhof@FishJournalsresearchgate.net/publication…
