Blue mussels, skeleton shrimp, amphipods oh my!
And tunicates with anemones on top!

Here in #Halifax visiting BIO for the first time!
Learning all about marine macro #inverts and eating some yummy local seafood!

My little Alona sp. friend decided to be a good photography subject and sit still for a short video!

NEW PAPER ALERT
The latest Bailey Lab research paper examines ballast water compliance monitoring devices (CMDs) capable of testing both 10-50 and >50 size classes in a series of lab-based freshwater and marine tests.

Maybe Sully should have taken her "unidentifiable unclassifiable hybrid chimera ice core extraterrestrial organism" to a marine biologist #Plankton #Echinoderm

A new review article from the Bailey Lab!

It is a review of 253 articles to understand the observed and potential impacts of climate change on different species and ecosystems in the Arctic marine region!

Tis the season... for an EXO PARTY!
#BallastWater research and @DrPlanktonguy 's #LowerTrophic research use the same sensors so we collaborate and calibrate all at once!

Now that the gift has been given, I can share my latest #zooplankton cross-stitch project.
Thrilled how it turned out!
Happy little Ceriodaphnia
