A new report from the World Economic Forum (WEF) argues that fish in the world’s oceans will be outnumbered, in terms of biomass, by plastic bits by the year 2050. That means that there could be more...
Researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara, are partnering with salmon experts around Alaska to make it easier to share findings about the fish, according to a release.
PCB concentrations Lake Michigan Chinook and coho salmon have declined over the past 35 years, though the drop has slowed since the mid-1980s, according to a new study. Recent declines may be more than just the result...
Research from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Fisheries division has uncovered the first fully warm-blooded fish. The opah, known also as the moonfish, circulates heated blood throughout its entire body, giving it an edge over its...
The Hangenberg event was a large-scale extinction event that occurred some 359 million years ago. Curious to gauge what effects the extinction had on fish of the time, scientists at the University of Pennsylvania set out to...
Though evolutionary changes are largely cast as a good thing, the parts they play can be misleading. As was the case with some African cichlid fish, evolving to have an advantage in consumption -- pharyngeal jaws in...
The Asian tapeworm has become a big problem for U.S. fish hatcheries, where hatchery managers try to manage the invasive parasite with drugs similar to those used to de-worm dogs. Another part of managing the parasite is...
Anglers chasing elusive muskie are always looking for a leg up, whether its this year's hot lure or fishing during the right phase of the lunar cycle. A new study offers some scientific credence to more bites...
Alaska’s waterways are warming, and anglers and the salmon they’re after have reason to worry. Five years of temperature data from 48 streams throughout the Cook Inlet reveal a warming trend that is placing plenty of stress...
By using tiny zebrafish, those working in the BioEYES science education program are working to teach kids to be curious and ask questions, according to a release from the University of Utah School of Medicine. The medical...
In an interview with Fred Puckle Hobbs, he shares details of how blockchain technology will lead to future developments in seaweed farming.
You can achieve healthy dissolved oxygen levels in aquaculture by aerating your ponds. How to do so is a matter of choice.
Investigators at Mississippi State University say that it’s important not to underestimate different habitat types after finding prehistoric fish near the spillway in the Sam D. Hamilton Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge. They have found unexpectedly high numbers...
The effectiveness of fish ladders can be debated, but that hasn’t stopped a few professors at South Dakota State University from designing some to help fish in their state. Over last summer, they worked to test the...
Researchers use all sorts of tools to study fish, including dyes. Those had been used on many different species, but never crappie -- until now.
By reviewing 85 million years of fish fossil records, researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography have found that the basic structure of the ocean ecosystem was able to remain fairly stable for tens of millions of years...
We’ve reported before on the quickness with which some species of sticklebacks have been able to evolve. A new study adds yet more proof that sticklebacks are amazingly quick at adapting to changing conditions, this time with...
Do you think your genes are related to those in fish? According to a study led by researchers at the University of Cambridge and University of Chicago, at least your limbs might be.
If you’re a fish scientist, cutting a fish is a little more tedious than when the average angler does it. It’s important, after all, to make sure that the fish specimen you’re studying doesn’t get too stressed...
Some Florida high school sophomores and juniors have a neat opportunity to learn about the fishes living in Biscayne Bay, according to a release from Florida International University. Those involved in the MAST@FIU program get to go...
