Time shifted inhibition helps electric fish ignore their own signals. According to an article in Science Daily, electric fish generate electric pulses to communicate with other fish and sense their […]
How fishing affects fish growth. Over recent decades, many commercially harvested fish have grown slower and matured earlier, which can translate into lower yields and a reduced resilience to overexploitation. […]
Why do we eat fish, could some chimps’ crustacean crave yield clues about human evolution? At some point eons ago, our primarily fruit-eating ancestors put their hands in the water […]
