Time for #breakfast? The barramundi is a large, silver fish that changes sex as it grows. Once the fish reaches about 20 inches in length, it transitions from male to female.

ENJOY a relaxing swim with some local leeches! Yes, LEECHES🪱🪱🪱 #Leechnado These leeches were observed in a roadside stream entering Green Bay, Wisconsin, during Northern Pike fieldwork. These are predatory leeches, not parasitic blood-sucking leeches. They feed on other small invertebrates!

BABY Alligator Gar! At less than one inch long and two weeks old, these future river monsters already breathe air. Watch as one takes a little gulp (and tiny bubble burp)! Yes, these are the same fish that can grow over 8 feet long and over 300 pounds!

Big win! The Fish & Wildlife Service will expand Okefenokee Refuge by up to 22,000 acres, protecting it from a proposed titanium mine. Nearly 30,000 public comments showed how special Okefenokee is to people everywhere. Thank you to everyone who spoke up!

#sturgeonsaturday Lake sturgeon are a gregarious fish, meaning they like to hang out in groups. Sturgeon that are exposed to a stressor, like heat, in isolation were more stressed than fish that were exposed together, a phenomenon called social buffering. 🐡🐠🧪🌐🔥 Study below: tinyurl.com/4bd9kcc2

yall already know what day it is, #sturgeonsaturday! 🧪🌎👩🏻‍🔬🌐 sturgeon are living fossils ~ their genomes have remained relatively unchanged since 🦕 time this means sturgeon are essentially in an evolutionary standstill compared to other fish ~ looking into their eyes is like meeting an ancestor 🥹

I caught my 1st gar, a shortnose gar, in 2001 while fishing near in Kansas. I couldn't figure out why other anglers didn't respect this fish. Now there's such a great community of researchers, anglers & conservationists advocating for gar. Follow #GarWeek to learn more. #25DaysofFishmas

#sturgeonsaturday - there is a TON of phenotypic variation in Fraser River sturgeon, especially in their snout length and body color! 🧪🌎👇🏼

It is very interesting how much White Sturgeon can vary in snout length. The pictures are White Sturgeon I caught back in August in the Fraser river, and are roughly the same size, look how different the length of their snouts is! #sturgeonsaturday
