Scientists find how blind cavefish survive their low-oxygen environment

Cavefish have obvious adaptations like missing eyes and pale colors. It demonstrates how they evolved over millennia in a subterranean world. University of Cincinnati researchers say these incredible fish have an equally remarkable physiology. It helps them cope with a low-oxygen environment that would kill other...

Biohybrid fish made from human cardiac cells swims like the heart beats

Harvard University researchers have developed the first fully autonomous biohybrid fish from human stem-cell derived cardiac muscle cells. The artificial fish recreates the muscle contractions of a pumping heart to swim. This brought researchers one step closer to develop a more complex artificial muscular...

New research shows that 85% of coral reef fish studied are overfished

University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science scientists have found concrete evidence that more than 85 percent of the grouper and snapper studied are overfished. It is a direct result of increasing human demand for seafood. Scientists analysed 30 years of population...

Where are memories stored in the brain?

Neuroscientists have attempted to understand the physical changes related with memory formation. But visualizing synapses is challenging to do. As synapses are very small and tightly packed together. There are 10 billion times smaller than the smallest object MRI can visualize. There are 1 billion...

Scientists explored fish flow from fisheries to supper

University of Hawaii researchers brought together experts from the fields of oceanography, genetics, ecology, fisheries biology and social sciences to develop some insights into the natural and commercial flow of fish. Most ocean species humans exploited live in "stocks" or groups of isolated local populations. This...

Fish stocks fluctuate with seawater temperature

Fluctuations in seawater temperature are responsible for responsible for the ups and downs in the abundance of marine fish stocks. This is the conclusion from the study by Wageningen University & Research. Fish biologists have noted slow fluctuations in fish stocks for centuries. Though...
