I had sent you an email to the address you sent below but had not heard anything back, so I was just checking to see if you got my email? Cheers, Craig ...
Hi, I have samples of some species to share, email me at dbszj at nus dot edu dot sg Zeehan ... From: gobygroup@yahoogroups.com on behalf of craigchargulaf ...
Contact Michael Hammer "michael at bold dot net dot au" he is working on Australian goby genetics and will likely have some samples that he is potentially...
Very cool videos! Thanks for sharing. A general question: did gobies evolve their sucker-like pelvic fins in the sea or in freshwater? Does the fossil or...
Hi fellow members! I've very much enjoyed following this conversation. It's good to know that everyone has these ethical questions in mind while they persue...
There is a long way to public understanding of the meaning and utility of the biodiversity thinking. But if this is true and therefore worthwhile, we should...
Hello Helen, It was I who said that "taxonomy has moved on". And I agree with you, yes, that's from the perspective of the money. My PhD and post-doc were in...
hello I am away from my office and country (am using Brazilian keyboard) and reading emails intermittently. Have just had a fascinated read-through of the most...
G'day Neale ... I see your point, but I don't fully agree. Clearly though public education and appreciation are important points. Fisherman will often toss...
Hello Peter, I agree 100% with what you're saying here. However, to play devil's advocate for a moment. One issue is that fishermen are catching fish to eat;...
With all this talk about to kill or not to kill I think that folks need to step back a little bit and consider the broader picture. Many folks here are...
Hi, Gianluca and Neale, I am also happy to discuss with all you people. That's why I am still here. Thanks Gianluca for the new mail list and I will try. Tony...
Hello Tony, Good to hear there's a consensus here. Makes this sort of discussion more pleasant. Forgive me for using the phrase "liberal democracy" in a way...
Hi Tony, there is a mailing lists exclusively dedicated to goby specialists (gobiidae@yahoogroups.com). For some reasons, this one is mixed and much more...
Hi Sarah and How, I meant I anesthetized them to spare their life. That was the plan... and it worked. No problem for the small size: it's only a matter of...
Hi, Sarah, I am also glad that you begin to understand the ethics behind, and give us a chance to communicate on this topic. To be honest, in our team, killing...
Hi Tony, Â In regard to your original post, I'm unsure as to whether you've actually been reading all the messages, as there has actually been very little...
Hi, Monks and Polgar, Thanks for your explanation. I think the point I don't really know is that this forum would contain a large amount of (or some) non-fish...
Hello Tony, I couldn't disagree more strongly. For one thing, this mailing list often seems nothing more than a succession of photos from collectors who want...
I wrote: "And certainly I am not talking of type specimens, whose usefulness is apparent". I was talking of taxonomic ID for ethological/ecological studies:...
Oh, God. I have received more than ten emails (messages) for this (and the previous) topic!? Can we stop arguing to kill or not to kill!? As all of us know,...
Helen, True: fin clips per se cannot always tell us what species is the fish. Specifically, they can't tell whether the fin clip is of a species which was only...
these ones are gobies - a Parachaeturichthys polynema (black spot on tail fin) and two pics of an Oxyurichthys, possibly O. ophthalnema, can't tell from photo....
Balkrishna - these are two blennies, Omobranchus probably O. punctatus at a guess. Am nowhere near my references (travelling). <')////==< Dr Helen K. Larson ...
I do agree. Molecular biology is a useful tool to get insight into biological mechanisms and processes. Nonetheless, neither answers nor questions can be ...
Dennis, Glad I'm not the only one! I fear science funding encourages this sort of thing. By focusing on 2-3 year projects, and by expecting young scientists to...
Thank you Gianluca and Neale for very good posts.  Neale,  I've had the same experience with microbiology. Nowadays the young scientists know everything...
Gianluca, Your message was very interesting. Your decision to switch from using cold to kill small fishes to using clove oil is mirrored by my own practises. ...
