Great job by our very own James Rimmer at #SMMRConf24 presenting the value of multi-species #modelling for better informing #fisheries management decisions 🐟

Harbour seals 🦭 and otters 🦦 on Arran. Research at York has documented the effects of the Lamlash Bay no-take zone (part of the MPA), a leading example of a community-driven campaign. I look forward to diving beneath the waves next time, if I can resist the hills for once!

Please help RT 🐠🐡🐟 Data request + collaboration: I'm looking for data collaborators on a global reef fish study! This is a long shot, but I'm trying to better include data collectors outside of the usual orgs/locations. Please DM for more details. #TeamFish

Really pleased to have made even the most minor of contributions - I’ll have to pick up a full copy!

A bit late in the year but so pleased to get some scuba in at Loch Sunart this past weekend. Some absolutely stunning diving as a welcome back, including my first John Dory - a fish I’ve been hoping to see in the wild for at least 14 years. Also serpulids in Loch Teacuis 👌

Please help our Pollack Fishing Industry Partnership project to gain new insights into the state of pollack stocks in order to inform future management. Feel free to contact Simon or myself. Please share widely 🙏 #Fishing #Fisheries 🐟

Some really interesting discussions on Ecosystem Based (Fisheries) Management and communication at #ICESASC. Clearly some serious thought is being put into bridging the gap between researchers, policy makers, and stakeholders. Lots to think about!

Fantastic day presenting at the SMMR Workshop at #MASTSASM2024 with Pyramids of Life PI Jon Pitchford! Great discussions on sustainable fisheries management in the Celtic Sea and the application of mathematical modeling. 🌊📊 #SMMR #Fisheries #CelticSea #SustainableOceans

It took me a long time to get started on this platform, and over time I've found it less and less useful, plagued with bots, unpleasant interactions, and I rarely logged on anymore. I've now also gone to BlueSky - find me at jevrimmer.bsky.social and I'll try rebuild my network

New Paper! Acoustic telemetry shows spurdog display year-round residency within a Scottish loch and temperature is a key driver of space use. Thanks to all authors, reviewers, and funders. Edinburgh Napier University NatureScot Scottish Government Ocean Tracking Network MASTS rdcu.be/d3gee

I look forward to reading this one!

Our paper, "Assessing the effect of 660nm laser imaging on crustacean eyes," is accepted in PLOS ONE! 🔬 We explore how laser scanning impacts prawn eyes, paving the way for ethical, tech-driven, size-based stock assessment. 🌊 Look forward to sharing the paper link soon. 🦐

New paper finally out! We tested whether a 660 nm laser scanner, designed to automate crustacean data collection, affects prawn eyes 👁️🦐 📉 Single scans: no detectable issues 📈 Repeated scans: subtle tissue changes emerge Open access in @PLOSOne 👉 doi.org/10.1371/journa…
