The pre-print of the GWAS study on growth traits in the flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) is out! Great collaboration between Cefas The Roslin Institute The University of Edinburgh Blue Marine Foundation Lochnell Oysters. Seeing this out makes the hours of sticking tiny labels on tiny oysters worth it!

Cornish fishermen catch up to 70 different species, but this requires many types of fishing gear. This is expensive and stocks are rapidly changing due rising water temperatures. 'Plenty More Fish?' explores how climate change is affecting Cornwall's fishing industry, link in bio

95% of the UK’s native oyster population has disappeared due to pressures such as overfishing and pollution. Restoring oyster beds could help fight climate change, as they take in carbon to help build their shells. Visit #SavingESTERtheOYSTER 🦪❤️ to find out how to support restoration efforts

Proper fisheries management isn’t just about stocks - it’s about maintaining the healthy ecosystem needed for a sustainable fishery Rural Affairs and Islands Committee
