We have gone LIVE with our Crowdfunder UK #SavingESTER #nativeoyster project crowdfunder.co.uk/savingesterthe… please share this post !! #oysters #oysterrestoration NORA_Europe Native Oyster Network - UK & Ireland The Shellfish Centre NationalLobsterHatch @faloyster #mylorlife Mylor Yacht Harbour #falmouth CornwallGoodSeafood

Pleased to present achievements of my own Agri-Tech Cornwall ExeterEvo project today; SNP assignment tools developed to assist #lobster traceability and #aquaculture management via identification of species, hybridisation, capture origin and parentage. Hope to share new papers soon!🦞

A small summary of some of the #seaweedscience @lobstergrower and I are studying in order to maximise the environmental and commercial benefits of #seaweed farming in the South West UK.🌱🌊🦞🐟 @ExeterMarine SWEEP Sustainable Aquaculture Futures MBA - Marine Biological Association Cefas

Business on the front, party on the back. The mullet of the thesis world.

Big moment as we release our #kelp babies into the big wide world. After 8 weeks in the ‘nursery’ it’s time they go it alone. (We are testing diff methods/densities of seeding Sac lat to support kelp farming). 😬 🌱 👶 🌊 ☀️

Today we're launching a campaign to raise awareness of the threat to native species from the non-native American lobster. Fishers, divers and others are being asked to “retain and report” to IFCAs or Marine Management Organisation any American lobsters found. More info here: ow.ly/qOoc50yxdCu

D Smale Kirsty Macleod Lots of evidence that kelp and lobsters are actually ecologically linked: holdfasts must make great juvenile nurseries, and lobsters eat urchins to prevent kelp loss by overgrazing. Papers from Nova Scotia; nrcresearchpress.com/doi/abs/10.113… link.springer.com/article/10.100… nrcresearchpress.com/doi/10.1139/f8…

Do you know your native lobsters from non-native American lobsters? Cefas is asking fishers to retain and report American lobsters they catch to the Marine Management Organisation or IFCAs so Defra UK can measure their impacts to inform biosecurity policy. Find out more here ow.ly/Y6eh50yxdKV

At the Women in Conservation workshop this eve - amazing women driven by their passion, dedicated to conservation! Beach Guardian Lobster Grower Cal Major

Exciting new project by Charlie Ellis ExeterEvo that is using genetic techniques to help unravel population structure in our mysterious clawless lobster cousins ... the European spiny lobster, Palinurus elephas

Sampling blood from #nephrops - normally a light blue colour, animals infected with #hematodinium have milky blood filled with masses of parasite cells.

Update on #ColinTheLobster! We have successfully generated more PacBio sequencing data for Colin 🦞. Most reads are in the 15-25 Kb range but we have a number of super-long reads which will hopefully improve the #genome assembly!

Strong winds and rough seas but a decent spring tide allowed us access to survey kelp populations. Adults look battered and tatty after storms but plenty of baby recruits and other seaweeds (incl Codium, green sea fingers) 🌱 🌊 ☀️ MBA - Marine Biological Association The British Phycological Society

The Cornish Seaweed farm yesterday - amazing kelp growth on the lines. Team Seaweed out in force, monitoring growth and environmental interactions Sophie Corrigan, Lobster Grower Mike Allen 👨‍🔬 @ExeterMarine Renewables ExeterUni Sustainable Aquaculture Futures credit D Smale for the picture

Exciting new work emerging aquaculture developments in the south west ... seaweed 🌱 is no lobsters 🦞 but shows great potential ... product diversity, ecosystem services, multi-species culture ... a match made in ocean heaven 🌊🌱🦞

It’s been a while since I #published on #lobsters 🦞🦀🦞 Check out our NEW PAPER on #shellfish interactions and the need for fully-documented #fisheries tinyurl.com/u73v6kt

Interested in seaweed? This Wednesday Carly Daniels and I are guest speakers at Cornwall's CafeSci Cornwall Science Community online event sharing our research on Seaweed Aquaculture bit.ly/30h5JYb Pls RT Uni of Exeter's ESI @ExeterMarine #seaweed #aquaculture #marinesocsci

The time has finally come - your #innovative applications have been assessed, decisions have been made, and successful applicants are being notified this week! 👏 We can't wait to share this new batch of innovative #aquaculture, #fisheries & #seafood projects with you!
