We're so excited to finally have our mullet study up and running!! It's been a lot of planning (and lots of delays), but fish are getting tagged and data are being collected. #telemetry #SouthAfrica

Great start to "WG1 Chemical tracers training" workshop with Sea-Unicorn COST at SAIAB

This week Sea-Unicorn is running another training school! An introduction to using chemical markers to estimate movement + connectivity. Thanks to our awesome trainers (Audrey Darnaude, Susanne Tanner, Clive Trueman (clivetrue.bsky.social), Dr Anna Sturrock) and participants! COST @MarineConnectivity

It's #WorldOceanDay 🌊 To celebrate, SAIAB (created by Andisile Klaas) hosted a fun ocean-themed quiz! Team Blue (pictured; Vuyo Mxo of IMIsEE Project, Pule Mpopetsi, Dinah Mukhari and Zinzi Somana), were the eventual winners 🙌🏆 #marinescience

Registration completed, looking forward to the exciting program Southern African Society of Aquatic Scientists prepared for us. Here to talk about Acoustic Tracking Array Platform mullet project #teamfish

At the Southern African Society of Aquatic Scientists 2023 Congress, SAIAB PhD research student, Dinah Mukhari talking about the use of acoustic telemetry and otolith microchemistry to study the life history and migration history of flathead mullet, (Mugil cephalus).

Rhodes University Open Day 2024 Day well spent speaking to grade 11&12 about fish and some potential careers im science! S/O to the VC for stopping by💯 #DIFS #FISH

Today, NRF-SAIAB honored an invite from Rhodes University and Nelson Mandela University for a postgraduate funding fair. The event was hosted in front of RU's main admin building. Our students and interns showcased the institute's research to Rhodes University students.

Celebrated World Fish Migration Day with a visit to Archie Mbolekwa SP School Grade 7 learners! We had an amazing time educating future scientists about the wonders of fish migration and the importance of preserving our aquatic ecosystems.

Great exciting workshop discussions at the #IMARCO2024 conference Sea-Unicorn Acoustic Tracking Array Platform SAIAB

Proud supervisor moment!! Bantony Ziko, who's attending his first ever international conference, just delivered a fantastic speed talk on his PhD work at this year's #IMARCO2024 🐟

Second proud supervisor moment today! This time it was Dinah Mukhari telling the #IMARCO2024 audience about her flathead mullet work in the Kowie Estuary #SouthAfrica 🐟🇿🇦

Team #telemetry 🇿🇦 representing at the #IMARCO2024 in France: ATAP Istrument Scientist Taryn Murray, SAFER LAB team lead Amber-Robyn Childs, and their students Dinah Mukhari, Bantony Ziko and Mlotshwa Nonhle T. 🐟

Our Instrument Scientist Taryn Murray delivered an overview of the acoustic #telemetry work conducted in #SouthAfrican estuaries over the past 20 years at this year's #IMARCO2024 🐟 #marinescience

What a privilege to be invited to the NRF Next Generation and Emerging Researchers symposium! The program consist of talks from research impact, integrity to commercialisation.
