Fish in schools have an easier time swimming in rough waters. Swimming through turbulent water is easier for schooling fish compared to solitary swimmers, according to a study published June […]
Herring arrives earlier in the Wadden Sea due to climate change. Due to the changing climate, young herring arrive in the Wadden Sea earlier and earlier in spring. That is […]
What’s quieter than a fish? A school of them. Swimming in schools makes fish surprisingly stealthy underwater, with a group able to sound like a single fish. The new findings […]
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 […]
Unlocking the energetic secrets of collective animal movement. How group behaviour reduces energy costs in fish. Many animals, including apex predators, move in groups. We know this collective behaviour is […]
Midbrain awakens gift of gab in chatty midshipman fish. For talkative midshipman fish — sometimes called the ‘California singing fish’ — the midbrain plays a robust role in initiating and […]
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 […]
Changing climate creates more noise in the oceans. Due to the changing climate, the underwater world is getting ever noisier. That is the main conclusion of a study that was […]
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 […]
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, […]
Fish are behaviourally impaired from exposure to crude oil. A first-of-its-kind research experiment led by researchers at University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science confirmed […]
Fish can calculate – study shows. Cichlids and stingrays can perform simple addition and subtraction in the number range of one to five. This has been shown in a recent […]
The way a fish swims reveals a lot about its personality, say scientists. Personality has been described in all sorts of animal species, from ants to apes. Some individuals are […]
Fish school by randomly copying each other. An international team of researchers has revealed the mechanisms behind fish schooling – and what they found differs from what scientists had previously […]
