🎶On the first day of #Fishmas...🎶 When it comes to making a big splash into the holiday season, it doesn't get much bigger than the lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens), one of the #GreatLakes's biggest (and oldest) fish species #25DaysofFishmas

The Aquarium is saddened by the loss of Betty White. We thank her for her lifelong love and dedication to animals, support of the Aquarium, and her namesake Betty who is carrying for our young otter.

My favourite shark species! #SundayFishSketch

A couple of weeks ago we had an icebreaker during my graduate seminar and the question was "What is your irrational fear?" My answer was "hammerhead sharks". And today in class I walked in and saw this:

Check out this awesome study led by former Florida Atlantic Harbor Branch graduate student Michelle Edwards 🦈 where we assessed biotoxins in multiple tissues types of bull sharks in the #indianriverlagoon. Graphical abstract attached. #elasmobranch #toxicalgae #estuary #nursery #shark #treasurecoast

📣#CITESCoP19 🦈 Recap: All 4 elasmobranch App. II listing proposals have been adopted in Committee: Requiem sharks, hammerheads, guitarfishes & freshwater stingrays. Decisions need to be finalized in Plenary. Congrats to all involved in this huge & historic #CITES4Sharks effort!
