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 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 – ...

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 ...

The physical relief—in body weight—that temperate fish like cod and Atlantic herring experience after they spawn for the first time allows them to breathe in more oxygen and develop a voracious ...

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.

Although air and water temperatures are still relatively cool, longer days and increasing air temperatures are slowly warming area lakes. Increasing lake temperatures begin to stimulate natural ...

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 ...

A leap of faith : the evolution of beach spawning in fishes -- Surf, sand, and beach : physical conditions of shore habitats for fishes -- Locals only : beach-spawning behavior in resident intertidal ...
