Emissions from coal-fired power plants may be an important source of water pollution and fish contamination. view more (2007-11-07)
Edible fish feasts beats malaria
The emerging threat of pesticide resistance means that biological malaria control methods are once again in vogue. view more (2007-08-09)
Slightly stressed carp succumb easily to parasite
Researchers from Wageningen have discovered that slightly stressed carp are much more susceptible to parasites than unstressed carp. All of the laboratory carp which were taken out of the water for one minute a day, died from parasitic attack. Only 40% of the carp who did not undergo the light stress treatment died from the parasites. The... view more... (2002-09-11)
No trouble removing oil from water
A simple tank-and-siphon system for removing oil from oily water and protecting the environment is about to be launched internationally by an engineering team from the University of New South Wales. view more (2005-08-05)
Chronic oil pollution takes toll on seabirds along South American coast
Chronic oil pollution has been a long-standing problem along a 4,200-mile stretch of coast from southern Brazil to northern Argentina. view more (2006-02-01)
'Plastic oil' could improve fuel economy in cars, chemists say
Recycled plastic bottles could one day be used to lubricate your car's engine, according to researchers at Chevron and the University of Kentucky, who in laboratory experiments converted waste plastic into lubricating oil. These polyethylene-derived oils, they say, could help improve fuel economy and reduce the frequency of oil changes. view more (2005-06-14)
The tapeworm contraceptive
A tapeworm may be the unlikely source of a new contraceptive - 100% effective in either sex! Despite intensive research, scientists have so far failed to find the perfect contraceptive for women - let alone men. However, a study in freshwater fish of the carp family has found a parasite, Ligula intestinalis, that makes the fish infertile. The... view more... (2002-12-04)
Sick fish may get sicker
Entire populations of North American fish already are being affected by several emerging diseases, a problem that threatens to increase in the future with climate change and other stresses on aquatic ecosystems, according to a noted U.S. Geological Survey researcher giving an invited talk on this subject today at the Wildlife Disease Association... view more...

Unusual fish-eating dinosaur had crocodile-like skull
An unusual dinosaur has been shown to have a skull that functioned like a fish-eating crocodile, despite looking like a dinosaur. It also possessed two huge hand claws, perhaps used as grappling hooks to lift fish from the water. view more (2008-01-14)
'Optical fingerprinting' makes extra virgin olive oil shine out from the fakes
A Loughborough University researcher has teamed up with scientists from Italy to develop a unique optical fingerprinting system to detect extra virgin oil from the fakes. The increasing popularity of the Mediterranean diet means that the production of high quality extra-virgin olive oil is a booming business. The oil produced in Italy is renowned... view more...

Research highlights how bacteria produce energy
The world's smallest life forms could be the answer to one of today's biggest problems: providing sustainable, renewable energy for the future. view more (2006-05-22)
Fish oil may help protect against retinal degenerative diseases
A invited paper published in Trends in Neuroscience this week by Nicolas G. Bazan, MD, PhD, Boyd Professor and Director of the Neuroscience Center of Excellence at LSU Health Sciences Center in New Orleans, reports on the role that the omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil play in protecting cells in the retina from degenerative diseases like retinitis... view more...

Two novel species of bacteria isolated from oil wells
Oilfields usually represent extreme environments, where physicochemical conditions appear at first sight to be generally unsuitable for living organisms to develop. However, these environments, usually poor in nitrates and oxygen, harbour a rich diverse community of microorganisms. The most widely represented and best-known types are... view more... (2004-11-23)
Omega 3 fatty acids influence mood, impulsivity and personality, study indicates
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids may influence mood, personality and behavior, according to results of a study presented today by University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers at the 64th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Psychosomatic Society in Denver. view more (2006-03-06)
Electric fish conduct electric duets in aquatic courtship, Cornell neurobiologists discover
Cornell researchers have discovered that in the battle of the sexes, African electric fish couples not only use specific electrical signals to court but also engage in a sort of dueling "electric duet." view more (2007-06-21)
Tracking fish by sonar to prevent over-fishing
Marine researchers and scientists have long sought a practical way to track the position and migration of fish in the world's oceans in order to provide research data for stock management and fish conservation. Sigmur Gudbjornsson, Managing Director of Stjornu-Oddi, the Icelandic lead partner in EUREKA project E! 2326 GPSFISH, describes how they... view more... (2003-10-14)
Limits on futures trading could boost gas prices, expert says
Proposals to reign in wallet-draining gasoline prices by curbing speculation in oil markets would likely increase costs at the pump instead of trimming them, a University of Illinois economist says. view more (2008-07-28)
'DEEP AND CRISP AND EATEN': THE SCOTTISH DEEP-FRIED MARS BAR (p 2180)
A letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET details a survey of Scottish fish and chip shops to try and estimate the popularity of the deep-fried Mars bar. view more (2004-12-15)
Do high dietary intakes of trans fats really promote cardiovascular disease?
From his assessment of the studies, Dr John Stanley says the conclusion that trans fatty acids promote cardiovascular disease is premature for the following reasons. First, although prospective cohort studies show an association with cardiovascular disease, trans fatty acids are estimated rather than measured. They may also be markers for some... view more...

Biodiesel could reduce greenhouse gas emissions
A CSIRO report released today confirms that using pure biodiesel or blending biodiesel with standard fuel could reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector. view more (2007-11-28)
