A new study provides the first detailed documentation of a shallow-water fish diving 450 feet deep to spawn. Uncovering this very rare spawning behavior in bonefish (Albula vulpes) is unprecedented.

Owing to a lack of basic information on the biology of zebrafish (Danio rerio), lab managers must often base decisions regarding the care and use of this species on anecdotal information. In an effort ...

A consistent metabolic ratio found across 133 Chinese marine and freshwater fish species provides new evidence in support of the idea that fish become sexually active – and spawn for the first time – ...

ABSTRACT: Clarifying the relationship between individual energetic state and reproductive behaviour is essential for understanding the life history strategies of fish as well as for determining ...

Artificial reproduction in fish species encompasses a suite of techniques designed to overcome the limitations of natural spawning. By harnessing hormonal stimulation, controlled environmental ...

Climate change may be depriving juvenile fish of their most crucial early food source by throwing off the synchronization of when microscopic plants known as phytoplankton bloom and when fish hatch, ...

A new peer-reviewed research paper, authored by Shedd Aquarium and published in Journal of Great Lakes Research, assesses the fish species that spawn in the Chicago River to sustain and support ...

Animal biologists and chemists have identified the pheromone involved in the mechanism that triggers puffer fish to spawn on beaches using moonlight. A group of animal biologists and chemists at the ...

Fish exhibit impaired sensory function and altered behaviour at levels of ocean acidification expected to occur owing to anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions during this century. We provide the ...
