@sternarchella.bsky.socialReposted by @solomonrdavid.bsky.socialMentally I’m here. Caught some awesome alligator gar in the San Jacinto River yesterday. Happy to see so many giants thriving so close to the Houston metro area
@andrewrypel.bsky.socialReposted by @solomonrdavid.bsky.socialSo proud of Alex & team for getting this project out into the wild.
We can manage our native fishes better and hope this might be a good first step.
Speaking for myself - I want these species, including the giants (e.g., alligator gar, pic 👇) around in the future.
@andrewrypel.bsky.socialReposted by @solomonrdavid.bsky.social🚨 New paper led by grad student Alex Ginez!
So many native fishes are still labeled as “rough fish” and given no management attention, and often unlimited harvest - still!
But are these fishes actually capable of sustaining high harvest?

@whysharksmatter.bsky.socialReposted by @solomonrdavid.bsky.socialWhatever you do, don’t eat hakarl at a job interview. Many people find the scent of fermented Greenland shark flesh, prepared by burying it for a year to remove the toxicity from urea in their flesh, to be unpleasant. Raises real questions about how you’d fit in with the team.

@solomonrdavid.bsky.socialOh man TIE Fighter was great! Was playing Lego Star Wars with my kids the other day and an X-Wing v TIE Fighter level definitely brought back those memories. Played it on our Tandy from RadioShack, if I recall correctly 😅

This week @biographic.bsky.social published my story on the rewilding of New England rivers, a mill dam at a time. (1/6)
