We had a great turnout for the @EAFP_news fish pathogen genomics workshop earlier this week! The participants went from command line basics to identifying and characterising a bacterial species causing disease in fish from a whole genome sequencing dataset.

Check out this little find from Hunmanby Gap🦐 Shoresearch volunteer Keith Clarkson spotted it inside a washed up Moon jellyfish 🪼 Turns out it's a Big-eyed Amphipod (Hyperia Galba)! 😮 This tiny ectoparasite lives entirely on/in jellyfish, identified by its big green eye! 👁️🐙
