For #SundayFishSketch this week I also picked a cichlid (shocker). This time it’s Chromidotilapia guntheri, which is unusual even amongst cichlids because it has biparental mouth brooding. They’re also quite phylogenetically distant from the haplochromines, which are our more typical mouthbrooders

Colored pencil drawing of a pair of Chromidotilapia guntheri. The pair is facing opposite directions and one is slightly smaller and less brightly colored. In the foreground are some of their fry, which still have their yolks

🐟 1 in 4 of the UK’s commercial fish populations are OVERFISHED to the point of having CRITICALLY LOW population sizes, our new report reveals 📉🌊

The govt’s inaction to end overfishing is hurtling us towards empty seas 🚫

In Bimini, researchers are using decades of fin clip samples to understand nurse shark DNA, looking at how individuals are related, how far they travel, and what their genetic ties can tell us about conserving this vulnerable species.

Someone asked me to consider sharing stories and legends from indigenous communities about sharks.

My professional development training for working in this space stressed the idea of "nothing about us without us," i.e., I should not be the one to tell their stories.

While we love seeing papers about the sustainability challenges in the aquarium fish trade, this one from @vicemagazine.bsky.social needs a bit of a fact check. Check it out but be kind. @luisprada.bsky.social, we are always happy to help!

Christine Archer RVT 🇨🇦 @nerdrvt.bsky.social · 1d

I normally give the media a break when talking about fish but this article on @vicemagazine.bsky.social is really egregious. This is why you maybe check with someone who is an expert on this topic before publishing. Short thread for why.

A screenshot of a Facebook post linking to a Vice Magazine article about fish in the pet trade. The post states "90 percent of aquarium fish sold in the U.S. are wild-caught, not bred in captivity. That means every time someone buys a neon tetra or clownfish from an online retailer, there’s a solid chance it was yanked straight from a coral reef." The picture is of a freshwater group of fishes found in the rift lakes in Africa.

Behold the striking colors of the blue-spotted stingray! Its bright spots are a warning to onlookers that it's venomous—& if its colors aren’t enough to ward off foes, it’s equipped w/ a tail that can inject a lethal dose of toxins.

Excited to share this work, out today in MBE! In polar fishes, we found that antifreeze protein genes expanded in copy number at low temperatures and contracted in the deep sea, highlighting a role of depth and pressure in AFP evolution.
