If you are looking for a world-beating PhD project, here it is! Einar Nielsen in Denmark is looking for applicants to work on a collaborative project on the population genetics of Tiger and White sharks. It follows on from a recently published study that Einar led during his 2015 visit to MFL. Download the details […]
Registration for the Genetics Training workshop is now open. The course is led by Jenny Ovenden (left, population genetics) and Andy Moore (right, fisheries scientist). Jenny and Andy believe that genetics does not solve any problem unless managers and policy-makers understand the results. The two-day training course will demystify population genetic research for those working with fisheries and threatened, endangered or protected species. The […]
Genetics plays an important role in the responsible management of animal populations, but is a complex field dense with jargon and concepts. At the ASFB-OCS conference in Hobart next week (#ASFBOCS2016), we will be announcing a workshop to aimed at providing simple guidelines for interpreting genetic studies. More information? Click here.

Thanks to the Fisheries Society of the British Isles for sponsoring the symposium and to Gary Carvalho and his team for fabulous conference organisation. Here is a group photo of delegates taken by Dr Martin Taylor of UEA.
The FSBI conference is concluding today. At the conference dinner, Louis Bernatchez (right with Gary Carvalho) was awarded the 2016 medal for Molecular Ecology. Robin Waples (left) spoke on behalf of invited speakers to thank conference convenors Gary Carvalho and all participants for an exceptional meeting.
Jenny Ovenden from Molecular Fisheries Laboratory, as well as leading scientists from 24 nations will be among delegates attending a major international symposium, supported by the Fisheries Society of the British Isles (FSBI), at Bangor University, Wales this week (18-22 July). Delegates at Fish, Genes and Genomes: Contributions to Ecology, Evolution and Management will discuss […]
Gemfish in Australia are a single species, Rexea solandri (pictured). Given the vast size of Australia’s southern coastline and the high biodiversity among other bony fish, it is unusual that there is only one species in Australia. Colleagues at Stellenbosch University in South Africa are undertaking a study of the family Gempylidae, to which the Australian […]
MFL has published genetic analyses of scallop (Pecten fumatus) populations in Bass Strait in Southern Australia. The information is needed by policy-makers to assist with the sustainable harvest of this important resource. If you have a subscription, you can download here. Otherwise contact us.
