🔥🤿 We combined flight initiation distance with post-flight responses and spearfishers' efficiency to better predict catchability and improve #fishery management💡
🐟Very proud of this paper!!

🌊🎓 Big milestone!
Yesterday, @MariaCascad defended her PhD on area-based conservation & fisheries management in the Mediterranean 🐟
Key insights to protect marine ecosystems and boost sustainable fisheries. Congrats! 👏✨

Announced by the ERC today (really bad news for science!!! It starts in Europe but will affect everybody) Because the REVIEWING LOAD is so bad, if your application fails you may need to wait mulitple years (>3?!?) until you can submit again!
The ERC is the lifeline of the leading labs in Europe, so many research programs will be terminated (just no other sources to compensate).
The letter from the ERC says “the only way is to reduce applications” (highlighted in the picture below) No!!!
It's the wrong direction. Use AI to assist review. It’s not perfect (yet), but it allows more proposals to be evaluated, and it could support, not replace, human reviewers.

Specifically, our chapter deals with digital data mining and the solutions and challenges that recreational fisheries need to manage in the immediate future to integrate such data into monitoring and management.
Happy to share our cornerstone book on disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches for recreational fisheries management with a specific focus on understanding recreational fishers

Thanks to collaboration with recreational fishers we documented the first case of betanodavirus in the dusky grouper of Catalonia in 2025. We hope the spread will not cause mass mortality, especially in MPA where abundance is high. @ICMCSIC

Our last contribution exploring how fisheries-induced evolution might be driven (or not) by epigenetic mechanisms in gonads. @laiaribas2 @RArlinghausFish @ICMCSIC @iMARES_group
🔬 Can size-selective fishing drive evolutionary changes in fish?
In our latest study using zebrafish, we explored harvesting larger individuals affects molecular markers related to reproduction and epigenetics after 13 generations.@ValeSbra @ICMCSIC

🧵 Did you know fishers have ecological memory?
In this thread, we explore how their lived experience helps us understand the past (and future!) of fishing in the Mediterranean 🐟🌊

🐟🔥 The sea is warming… and that’s changing what we catch and how much it’s worth.
📊 In the NW Mediterranean, we analyzed 23 years of data to understand how climate change is reshaping fisheries.
