18.01.2022 NEW STUDY: Whale sharks increasingly affected by boat strikes According to a new study by Emily Lester and colleagues, 15.9% of whale sharks photographed at Nin...galoo Reef, Western Australia, had major scarring visible on their bodies, with many of these injuries suspected to result from boat collisions. "These big animals rest on the surface of the ocean for an hour or so at a time and of course, at that time, while they're lolling about and gently swimming along at the surface, they're very susceptible to boat strikes," said Mark Meekan, a co-author on the paper. Due to the whale sharks' migratory nature, it is unclear if these boat collisions occurred at Ningaloo or elsewhere.

18.01.2022 IN THE NEWS: Saving our freshwater species from bushfire Last month, University of Canberra ecologist Mark Lintermans led a rescue operation to help conserve tw...o highly threatened freshwater species, the stocky galaxias (Galaxias tantangara) and short-tailed galaxias, which have been affected by fires. In total, 142 stocky galaxias were captured using electrofishing and and transferred to a temperature-controlled hatchery for safekeeping. However, efforts to conserve the short-tailed galaxias were less successful, with only about 30 fish recovered. "If you don’t get it right, if you don’t get in soon enough, you can lose a species. I don’t want that on my head, said Lintermans. Some of these things I’ve been working on for 35 years so it’s part of my family, you know.

16.01.2022 The Chinese paddlefish and its close relatives have been around for at least 200 million years. The species, reaching up to 23 feet in length, survived unimagin...able changes and upheavals, such as the mass extinction that killed the dinosaurs and marine reptiles like plesiosaurs that it swam alongside. But there’s one phenomenon this ancient species, sometimes called the panda of the Yangtze, could not survivehumans. A new paper published in the Science of the Total Environment concludes that the species has gone extinct, mainly due to overfishing and dam construction.

03.01.2022 Could seaweed be the solution to our growing plastic problem?

01.01.2022 No one will publish this post! This Dolphin was found on the beach yesterday. He died of hunger due to the seal of the water bottle that was hanging on his snout. When you go to the beach, throw your waste in the recycle bin (how hard is that) And not not on the beach
