I want to see how prevalent it is so if just people who breed fish take it, my estimate of how many fish are being produce by hobbyists is skewed because my samples are taken from just breeders. Good to know! I went ahead and did the survey. I am really excited to see the results, thank you so much for all the effort! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRSMP Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 We are into the last 10 days that the Survey is live. I encourage anyone who still hasn't taken part, to do so if they wish before it's too late. On a happy note just over 5% of those who have interacted with or viewed the thread have taken part in the survey, which is above the average so thank you to everyone who has taken part so far! This still represents about 1% of registered users so, there is still room for many more responses! 🙂 The response rate is the metric which will make or break this study, so I encourage all who can to take part! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guppysnail Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I will add yet again please do this I want to read the results. Maybe if enough of us beg it will become a hot topic (not quite sure how that works) and more folks will be interested and fill it out. It only takes 5 minutes. Please please please new fishkeeers you may get some ideas, old timers well just do it to help please. Everyone’s participation and input is good. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwise Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I loved studying science. It is so rare to be a part of it! Even answering no or n/a is valuable. The OP will share the results, although science takes time. @Guppysnail, I will pin this thread for a time. I should have done it sooner, but we really had no precedent. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbit Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Taaaaake the surveyyyy! Even if your answers are just “no, nope, nope, nada” we need that data too! We can’t know what percent of hobbyists breed fish if we don’t know how many don’t breed fish! Ooo are we allowed to bribe people? Or is that not allowed @DRSMP? I can offer one baby fish picture for everyone who fills it out from now on. 😁 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbit Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Remember, this survey is for EVERYONE! Whether you breed fish or not! Well maybe not *everyone*—I think you do have to own or have owned a fish. 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRSMP Posted June 30, 2022 Author Share Posted June 30, 2022 Hi Everyone, Sorry for the Radio Silence it has been a very busy few months. I just wanted to keep you all updated on the progress of the study. The paper has been submitted to the journal, it has been approved by the Editor and has gone out to reviewers for peer review. This process normally takes a few months. I want to thank everyone, including the Forum owners for their assistance with this project. And I am looking forward to sharing the published work with you all soon! 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janoš Bećar Pecaroš Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 It seems that a common problem with studies done on social media is that the authors never post back after the studies have been published. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The results have not yet been published, I submitted back to the Editor some minor corrections this week but the manuscript has been accepted for publication so I should have something soon to share with everyone. The journal publishes online so there should be a pre-print copy available relatively quickly. The journal is also open access so it will be free for everyone to read. 🙂 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
