We’ve all seen sports spectators performing “the wave,” where crowds of people stand up then sit back down to simulate a wave moving through the stadium. Well, schools of a certain fish have been found to perform a similar action, in order to keep from… Continue reading Schools of mollie fish “do the wave” to evade predators
The results have been published from a massive clinical trail spanning five years investigating whether long-term omega-3 fish oil supplements improve mood or help prevent depression. No differences in any measure were detected between placebo and omeg… Continue reading Large clinical trial finds omega-3 supplements don’t prevent depression
The mosquitofish is a harmful invasive species in much of the world, outcompeting and overwhelming native fish and other aquatic life. Scientists are now working on a solution to the problem, in the form of a robotic bass.Continue ReadingCategory: Scie… Continue reading Robo-bass used to protect native tadpoles from invasive mosquitofish
Despite being related to the humble freshwater perch, the Atlantic goliath grouper grows to be huge – up to 8 feet long (2.4 m) and 800 lb (363 kg). Scientists have recently learned more about its behaviour, using a new multifunctional high-tech tag.Co… Continue reading Sensor-packed tag gathers more data than ever on giant grouper fish
Commercial pineapple skin waste typically ends up being composted, or even just dumped in landfills. According to new research, however, a feed additive made from powdered skins has been shown to help farmed tilapia fish avoid infections, plus it repor… Continue reading Pineapple skin diet shown to boost growth and immune system of tilapia
Animals, like us, experience a deterioration of memory in old age. A new study, however, indicates that cuttlefish are the first species in which this appears not to be the case.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: University of Cambridge, F… Continue reading Study suggests cuttlefish don’t experience age-related memory loss
Utah is a place that features a wonderful and varied wilderness. Its mountainous terrain is home to many valleys, ponds, and streams. They’re a particular favorite of recreational anglers who …read more Continue reading Airdropping Live Fish Is A Thing And It Looks Magnificent
Given that they’re such naturally proficient swimmers, the physical structure of fish is increasingly being copied in the design of underwater robots. Scientists have now discovered that by adjusting the stiffness of their tails, those bots can swim mu… Continue reading Robotic tuna uses variable-stiffness tail for more efficient swimming
The ongoing debate over the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids is divisive to say the least. Several studies over the past few years have suggested fish oil supplements, commonly taken to reduce a person’s risk of cardiovascular disease, may not be… Continue reading EPA vs. DHA: The new research on the health benefits of omega-3 fish oil
Aquatic environments fed by streams of discharged wastewater are inherently prone to pollutants from human activity, and that can include the consumption of drugs, legal or otherwise. A field of research is forming around this phenomenon in an effort t… Continue reading Brown trout become addicts in waters polluted with methamphetamine
