- Hi everyone!
The Centre for Marine Science is happy to invite you to a special marine seminar, next Tuesday 2nd November at 1pm.
The seminar will be held on Zoom. Please register in advance for this meeting: https://uqz.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAof-2qrT0iHdxqXnIAKsC62WKXNU2qpxpr
We will be joined by two speakers: Dr. Patrick Smallhorn-West, from James Cook University, and Dr. Steven Robbins, from University of Queensland. They will present their research on small-scale fisheries co-management and the sponge microbiome.
You can find the abstracts of the talks below.
We hope to see you on Zoom next Tuesday. You will need to be logged in with Zoom to access the seminar.
Information on future seminars is available at: https://marine.uq.edu.au/content/seminar-series.
If you would like to present in the future, contact us at marine@uq.edu.au.
Cheers,
Pam Engelberts & Gretel Waugh

CMS Seminar – 2nd November 2021
Lessons for improving small-scale fisheries co-management
Dr. Patrick Smallhorn-West, James Cook University
Small-scale fisheries (SSF) employ more than 90 percent of the world’s fishers and account for half of global fish catches. Local forms of marine management are widely accepted as the only way by which to successfully manage these fisheries. In this talk I will distil decades of research across the fields of conservation planning, social-ecological systems research, fisheries ecology, and human behaviour into a series of lessons that, if adopted, will substantially improve the impacts of fisheries co-management.
A genomic view of the sponge microbiome
Dr. Steven Robbins, University of Queensland
Marine sponges underpin the productivity of coral reefs, yet very few of their microbial symbionts have been functionally characterized. To address this gap, we sequenced ~1200 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) spanning seven sponge species and 25 microbial phyla, which allowed us to identify genes and pathways that are common across sponge symbiont taxa and may therefore be critical for maintaining symbiosis.
