Collaborate Disseminate
We’ve been told for ages that “the robots are coming for our jobs!” It’s true that we’ve seen robots capable of everything from bugger flipping to bricklaying being demonstrated, and …read more Continue reading Hackaday Links: January 29, 2023
When you’re looking at a tank full of fish at a public aquarium, it can be difficult to figure out which ones are which species. The AI Aquarium is designed to help, by overlaying information that lines up with the individual fish in question.Continue … Continue reading Eye-tracking aquarium tells users about the specific fish they’re watching
Imagine if there were a robotic fish that filtered microplastic particles out of the water as it swam. Well, now there is one, and it’s the physical version of the winning concept in the first-ever Natural Robotics Contest.Continue ReadingCategory: Rob… Continue reading Student-designed plastic-gulping fish wins bioinspired robotics contest
A suspicious tournament official cut open the winning fish and discovered they were full of weights. Continue reading Weighted Fish Cheating Scandal Rocks the World of Fishing Competitions
Ever wonder how deep-sea fish and other animals are able to survive in an environment where the water pressure would kill us humans? According to a recent study, the secret lies in a chemical that occurs naturally in their cells.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading Cell-boosting chemical allows deep-sea fish to live under pressure
Soft tissues don’t fossilize well, so most of the time scientists have to infer organ anatomy from just bones. But an unexpected treasure trove of new information has been discovered in Australia, with a 380-million-year-old fish fossil preserving the oldest heart ever found.

We already know that tiny waterborne plastic waste particles can enter the bodies of fish, which are then consumed by humans. New research, however, shows that such particles can enter the food chain via another route, by traveling from the land, throu… Continue reading Study shows nanoplastics can travel from plants to insects to fish
Even though the plankton-eating basking shark is the world’s second-largest fish, much of its life has eluded observation. Now, however, researchers have determined that the usually solitary animals find mates by meeting up and circling around one anot… Continue reading Basking sharks found to choose mates by swimming in giant circles
After being introduced to Russia’s White Sea in the 1950s, non-native Pacific salmon have since spread along Norway’s coastline and into its rivers. In an effort to control their numbers, an AI-enabled fish-identifying gate has recently been installed … Continue reading AI-enabled fish gate filters invasive salmon out of Norwegian waterways
While the farming of salmon does help take pressure off wild stocks, the feed used to raise the fish still isn’t entirely sustainably sourced. That may change, however, thanks to nutrient-rich worms that eat readily available seaweed.Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading Worms raised on seaweed could be a more sustainable salmon feed
