Lachlan Fetterplace

I am always open to colloboration ideas and I also have a number of data sets and topics suitable for collaboration and or student and graduate research (both desk and field based), including on:

• Elasmobranch Sound
• Acoustic Telemetry - large data sets from MPAs in Australia.
• Baited Remote Underwater Video - large data sets from MPAs in Australia.
• AI - Detection and classification of protected species bycatch in Swedish small-scale fisheries e..g. https://my.ai.se/resources/549

Get in touch if you want to discuss!

Visit us @Fish_thinkers and https://fishthinkers.wordpress.com/, a science communication iniative I co-founded, for news and fun updates on various research happenings.

You'll also find me on Twitter and ResearchGate.

Citizen Science projects I am invovled with include: 

• Australasian Fishes Project
• Nordic Fishes Project

If you have fish observations you need IDs for or you enjoy identifying fish definitely get involved in these projects!
