Supper For Science: If you're a #Bass angler and keen to aid research to support bass management, this new citizen science collaboration between @bassangleruk and @Uni_of_Essex will be right up your street! Very excited to be working on this project! #fishing #angling
'Keep your bass heads!' "Essex Uni and B.A.S.S. are partnering on some science to better understand the contribution of bass nursery areas to the bass stock" .worldseafishing.com/threads/…

I had a wonderful viva experience, thanks @otolithgirl & @MEecoprof for such an enjoyable discussion! And thanks of course to @ejogorman,@Dr_MTaylor,@Hollyman_Phil and Simeon Hill for their great supervision and support throughout the PhD! @EssexLifeSci @BAS_News
Super proud of @PolarPaddy, my first PhD student to completion since joining @Uni_of_Essex five years ago. Two great papers already (nature.com/articles/s41467-0…; frontiersin.org/journals/mar…), @DefraGovUK lucky to have him for now, and a very promising career ahead. Congrats Paddy! 👏 👏

Congrats Dr @PolarPaddy for acing his viva! Loved discussing his amazing research w/ him & @MEecoprof. Great mentoring by @ejogorman, @Dr_MTaylor, @Hollyman_Phil & Simeon Hill. And lovely to see a @SeaUnicorn2020 STSM with @lu_pez_lopez lead to a @NatureComms paper. Bravo! 🐳🐟🦐

What habitats contribute to the nursery function of estuarine systems for juvenile sea bass? More than you might think! Have a read of our new paper in The Journal of Fish Biology as part of @TheFSBI symposium 2023 special issue with @Uni_of_Essex! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Look into my crystal bone... (see what I did there?!). Amazing study by @clivetrue, @iraide_aa and others using #otoliths as metabolic recorders to predict the future for Atlantic bluefin #tuna.
Can the effect of temperature on metabolism explain population trends of bluefin #tuna- and predict the future? In a new paper we use a stable #isotope based proxy to measure thermal sensitivity of field metabolism in Atlantic BFT tinyurl.com/4ctr9n75 #otolith #ecophysiology

Dropped off 13 bass heads for the Essex Uni Supper4science project at Lowen Chy Angling today. How brilliant is it that local tackle shops are supporting bass science in this way. Thanks so much to Tracy Longley and the rest of the guys at lowen-chy-angling.com
