Time to gather and celebrate national #barramundi day! Go team @CSTFA_JCU 🎉🥂

The LUNGFISH [Genome] HAS LANDED!!! Australian Lungfish has LARGEST animal genome sequenced to date; 43 BILLION base pairs long; 14x larger than human’s! Learn more about water-land transition, why tetrapods are all FISH! Nature: Meyer et al 2021 nature.com/articles/s4158… 1/n

#NewPaper: #Genetic audit of the #Fijian #GIFT #tilapia #broodstock nucleus! Summary-Little #geneticdiversity lost over 20 years. Nucleus is likely suitable to produce fry & fingerlings for farms. Genetic monitoring & performance assessments recommended. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Did you know all barramundi start their life as males before changing sex half way through their life?! In our new paper we study the underlying drivers of sex change and develop methods to double the efficiency of breeding programs. @CSTFA_JCU James Cook Uni doi.org/10.1016/j.aqua… 1/5

The abstract is limited to 150 words

🐟🐟💦. Tuna spawning in captivity 😮

Big milestone today! 4 years of research on #barramundi #reproduction completed📚🔬🐟💦 Could not have asked for a better #aquaculture team and supervisors @CSTFA_JCU James Cook Uni

Job opportunity! MARFU are looking for a person to join the highly skilled team of technical support staff @JCU. If your keen to help facilitate cutting edge research, apply now! Apps close 25th Jul 2021. seek.com.au/job/52776796 @CSTFA_JCU youtu.be/aeEU7SYRLDY

We are developing machine learning approaches to improve efficiency in #abalone farming. Less stress on animals, $ saving for farmers & great R & D tool too! FRDC @CSTFA_JCU tinyurl.com/292h52dv

We just published a follow up to our previous work on early sex-change in barramundi. Our new study shows precocious females can be spawned at 1/2 the age of standard females & produce just as many larvae/kg. Big gains for breeding programs w/ Marc Adrien bit.ly/35U9850

#phddone and ready to fly! I am so excited about what comes next, more #aquaculture #barramundi 🐟? @CSTFA_JCU

Did you know that #meager can produce a sound similar to that of a frog when communicating or during reproductive and #spawning activity? 🐸🐟 Our partner hcmr are studying their reproductive behaviour! 🧐 Find out more 👉 newtechaqua.eu/nta-partners-s…

Good news for Friday the 13th ;) We have OPENED the registration for 8th International Workshop on the Biology of Fish Gametes! More detailes here: pan.olsztyn.pl/fishgametes202… Spread the word!

Starfish blastula labeled with probes for DNA and microtubules 🧵

Our future monodon tiger #prawn broodstock are starting to get big but still have more growing to go. This girl is over 30cm and 150g at only 10 months old! CSIRO #csiroaquaculture #aquaculture #seafood

New paper just come from the oven, prepint available online & open-access. Small work that presents results that open prospects for really disruptive science in fish reproduction PiE-UPV/EHU with our research group #reprochange sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
