Genetic changes in threespine stickleback fish driven by seasonal shifts could help scientists predict how certain species will adapt to new environments. Climate change is…
A new study of dozens of wild fish species commonly consumed in the Peruvian Amazon says that people there could suffer major nutritional shortages if…
The distinctive white stripes in clownfish form at different rates depending on their sea anemone hosts, a PNAS study finds. Clownfish species develop their characteristic…
Meat and fish fraud are global problems, costing consumers billions of dollars every year. On top of that, mislabeling products can cause problems for people…
Thousands of sharks have been illegally caught in a Marine Protected Area (MPA) in the Indian Ocean, new research shows. The MPA was created in…
A new study published in Elementa by researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz and NOAA examines traditional aspects of seafood sustainability alongside greenhouse gas emissions…
Study suggests reducing fishing and addressing environmental changes would help cod recover. Overfishing likely did not cause the Atlantic cod, an iconic species, to evolve…
MSU’s expertise in fish biology, genetics helping researchers rewrite evolutionary history and shape future health studies. The network of nerves connecting our eyes to our…
Polyurethanes, a type of plastic, are nearly everywhere — in shoes, clothes, refrigerators, and construction materials. But these highly versatile materials can have a major…
Lessons from a failed experiment mark new way forward. Some invasive species targeted for total eradication bounce back with a vengeance, especially in aquatic systems,…
University of Alberta biologist leads new study on “functional eradication” to curtail numbers of invasive species based on achievable targets for preventing ecological damage. Managing…
Scientists from Lancaster University and the University of Stirling have completed the first detailed modeling of the environmental effects of floating solar installations on bodies…
Stormier weather will increasingly force fishers to choose between their safety and income, researchers say. Climate change is causing more extreme weather in many locations….
The habitats of freshwater fish species are threatened by global warming, mainly due to rising water temperatures. A 3.2-degree Celsius increase in global mean temperature…
A serendipitous discovery of a fossilized bony lung reveals a massive ancient fish. Fossilized remains of a fish that grew as big as a great…
New research has shown that carbon in feces, respiration, and other excretions from fishes make up about 16% of the total carbon that sinks below…
Study reveals open ocean waters once assumed to be unproductive are in fact teeming with an abundance of life on coral reefs. Since Charles Darwin’s…
New tool gauges impacts of warming waters on over 200 fish species. Warming ocean waters could reduce the ability of fish, especially large ones, to…
