🐟FISH ALERT🐟
One of the more brightly coloured of the 100+ species that we find in the oyster cages - a corkwing wrasse Symphodus melops - the black dot in front of the tail gives it away!

Loved listening to @CamiBe90 brilliant research! Developing a bioenergetic model to evaluate C & N fluxes in flat oyster tissues - big steps towards showing the power of #oyster #aquaculture
@NORA_Europe #NORA5
It's a MASSIVE thank you to volunteers who helped clean 4,500 juvenile oysters last week!
Your hard work helped prepare these oysters for an upcoming trial in the Hayling Island oysterbeds

Good luck Tom - #Essex oysyermen asking for cleaner waters sooner over later! 🦪🦪bbc.com/news/uk-england-esse…
Our Langstone #oyster #reef supporting juvenile fish species important for commercial & recreational fishing - we love to see that silvery sea bass shimmer!
Great to see juvenile #seabass schooling in Langstone harbour on the @solentnative #oyster reef BRUVs

@solentseascape
Since the #oyster deployment in April many individuals have shown impressive growth - this particular oyster lives in an intertidal system in River Hamble - making the most out of the abundance of algae this time of year.

Fiona's BRUVs showing how #returnofthenative is the keystone to support an enormous level of #biodiversity and #endangered species from smooth-hound sharks to European eels
Super exciting to see an #endangered smooth-hound shark on the BRUVs monitoring the @solentnative oyster restoration in Langstone harbour!! 🦈🦈

Fab couple of days doing BRUV monitoring the @solentnative oyster reefs and putting in larvae settlement coupelles with @EricHarrisScot1 🦪🐟

Countries standing up against deep-sea mining:
✅ Germany
✅ France
✅ Fiji
❌ UK
The UK claims to be leaders in marine conservation but has failed to support a moratorium on deep-sea mining.

Grab sampling in the River Hamble yesterday morning! Assessing any changes in particle size and oyster density on the reef
