Discouraged zebrafish help reveal how ketamine works in the brain. The decades-old anaesthetic ketamine could be a game changer for treating severe depression, but there are still many questions about […]
Zebrafish testing identifies a gene potentially at the root of domestication. Researchers at Queen Mary University of London have shown that zebrafish can provide genetic baz1b clues to the evolution of social […]
Zebrafish personaility pairing improves the fitness of the species. Scientists have challenged the theory of “love at first sight” after discovering that they can boost the reproductive success of zebrafish […]
Fish farmers can influence the traits of fish through the feed. Behaviour and environmental conditions affect how genes are expressed. New research demonstrates how epigenetics may be highly relevant to […]
Inspection blitz to prevent spread of Zebra mussels in Canada. Since being introduced into the Laurentian Great Lakes region in the 1980s, destructive Zebra Mussels have spread to waterbodies in […]
How many fish constitute a school? Physicists are also interested in fish — above all when they are researching the formation of structures. A research team from Heinrich-Heine University Duesseldorf […]
Sleep-wake rhythm: Fish change our understanding of sleep regulation. Contrary to common belief, not all vertebrates regulate their sleep-wake rhythm in the same way. University of Basel researchers have discovered […]
Fish display distinct individual behaviours when swimming to find food. Fish from the same species can evolve their sense of smell and display individual foraging ‘personalities’ to successfully find food […]
Why fish look down when they swim. Quirky behaviour helps fish estimate swimming direction and speed, simulations show. Just as you might look down at the pavement as you walk, […]
Pollution affects the growth and behaviour of aquatic organisms. The latest research at the University of Jyväskylä reveals that size-based selection, like in fishing, may impact the stress tolerance of […]
Women leading change in aquaculture and marine science. Follow Fish Focus’ feature on Women in the Seafood Industry, to mark this year’s International Women’s Day. Women make significant contributions to aquaculture and […]
Sundew a shining example of how ESG principles can drive innovation. Sundew, a pioneering aquaculture company committed to protecting our oceans and advancing sustainable fish farming practices. By developing innovative environmental […]
Seeing the future: Zebrafish regenerates fully functional photoreceptor cells and restores its vision. Blinding diseases lead to permanent vision loss by damaging photoreceptor cells, which humans cannot naturally regenerate. While […]
Canadian measures to prevent establishment of invasive mussels. Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) is committed to preventing the introduction, establishment, and spread of aquatic invasive species, including Zebra and Quagga […]
Asian clams’ spread in Columbia River warns of worse invaders. The invasive Asian clam is more common in the lower Columbia River than its native habitat of southeast Asia, according […]
Why has Lough Neagh been going green in the sun? In recent weeks, people living on, working around and visiting Lough Neagh have seen and commented on the presence of […]
Canadian pilot project to control aquatic invasive species. This summer, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) collaborated with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) on a pilot project to inspect and […]
Canada moves to stem invasive mussel threat. The Canadian Government is urging people to help prevent the spread of invasive Zebra Mussels. As one of the six prohibited species under […]
