Biodiversity and resilience of coral reefs
With over 3000 fish species, Indo-Pacific coral reefs represent one of the most diverse ecosystems on the globe. It is easy to assume that the loss of one or two species from these systems would have little impact. However, in an article in the April issue of Ecology Letters, Bellwood and colleagues document major changes in Indo-Pacific coral... view more... (2003-04-08)
Do you know what are you eating?
The project presented by Basque research center AZTI is about a new research line: a new method to identify the food and fish products once they are processed. Due to the big demand on that kind of researches, AZTI has been financed by the Fishing and Agricultural Department of the Basque Government to create a new laboratory of genetics. In fact,... view more... (2002-12-05)
Round Goby invade Great Lakes
Canadian scientists uncover alarming invasion of round goby into Great Lakes tributaries: impact on endangered fishes likely to be serious. view more (2009-08-12)
Sensorial evaluation of the freshness of fish
AZTI has drawn up some 40 tables for freshness specific for the most important commercial species in southern Europe, including fish and shellfish. The sensorial method, known as QIM (Quality Index Method) and introduced into Europe some years ago, is being applied to a greater number of species, including some in the frozen state. Concretely, for... view more... (2005-04-18)
Overfishing and evolution
Using snorkelers and SCUBA divers is not the best way to monitor fish populations, if we want to know the evolutionary effects of overfishing. view more (2009-07-21)
Salmon go veggie to save wild fish stocks
Salmon, like humans, require omega-3 fatty acids in their diet to function healthily. But as the fish farming industry expands, feeding salmon and other aquatic species with pellets containing fishmeal and oil derived from processing wild-caught marine fish is unsustainable in the long term. view more (2006-04-04)
Evolution in action? African fish could be providing rare example of forming two separate species, Cornell scientists speculate
Avoiding quicksand along the banks of the Ivindo River in Gabon, Cornell neurobiologists armed with oscilloscopes search for shapes and patterns of electricity created by fish in the water. view more (2006-06-02)
Commercial fishing causes dangerous fluctuations in fish populations
Commercial fishing causes serious fluctuations in fish populations leaving them in danger of total collapse, says new research published today. view more (2006-10-19)
Farmed fish may pose risk for mad cow disease
University of Louisville neurologist Robert P. Friedland, M.D., questions the safety of eating farmed fish in the June issue of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, adding a new worry to concerns about the nation's food supply. view more (2009-06-16)
Coralreef fish desperately need mangrove forests and seagrass fields
Biologists from the University of Nijmegen have demonstrated that some coral fish really do choose nursery grounds before heading for the coral reef. According to the researchers, managers of the waters around the Caribbean islands must devote more attention to the coast as a whole and not just to the protection of coral reefs. Up until now... view more... (2002-11-15)
Farmed fish with parasites: impact on wild fish stocks
'Fish farming is often proposed as a solution to diminishing stocks of wild fish. Sadly, many parasites are threatening the future of aquaculture' [by depleting fish stocks], write Jo Cable and Phil Harris, of Cardiff and Nottingham Universities, in the August issue of Biologist. A wide range of invertebrates can live on, or in fish before they... view more... (2003-08-01)
Invasives threaten salmon in Pacific Northwest
Many native fishes in the Pacific Northwest are threatened or endangered, notably salmonids, and hundreds of millions of dollars are expended annually on researching their populations and on amelioration efforts. view more (2009-03-02)
2006 is banner year for discoveries of new species in Borneo's rainforests
Scientists have discovered at least 52 new species of animals and plants this past year on the island of Borneo. The discoveries, described in a new WWF report, include 30 unique fish species, two tree frog species, 16 ginger species, three tree species and one large-leafed plant species. view more (2006-12-19)
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)
Longest study finds reef fish need longer break
In the longest running study on how fish populations in coral reef systems recover from heavy exploitation, researchers from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and others have found that the fish can recover, but they need lots of time - decades in some cases. view more (2007-07-12)
Infidelity produces faster sperm
Until now, it has been difficult to prove that fast-swimming sperms have an advantage when it comes to fertilizing an egg. view more (2009-01-21)
Shifting baselines confound river restoration
Steep reductions in the abundance of fish, shellfish, and other aquatic fauna in recent centuries are not restricted to animals that live in the sea: historical records show that species in rivers and lakes worldwide also experienced sharp declines. view more (2009-09-01)
Rare Tibetan antelope listed as endangered
The Bronx Zoo-based Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) today applauded a decision today by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to list the Tibetan antelope, also known as "chiru," as an endangered species. view more (2006-03-31)
Coral reef fish larvae settle close to home
Tracing the larvae of marine organisms from where they were born to their ultimate destination has been regarded as one of the greatest challenges in ocean science. view more (2005-07-26)
When fish become extinct, the cycling of critical nutrients in ecosystems changes, Cornell study finds
Ecosystems are such intricate webs of connections that few studies have been able to explore exactly what happens when a species dies out. view more (2007-03-05)
