Contrary to what is stated in biology textbooks, the growth of fish doesn't slow down when and because they start spawning. In fact, their growth accelerates after they reproduce, according to a new ...

A group of animal biologists and chemists at the Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (ITbM) at Nagoya University in central Japan, in collaboration with Toyota Boshoku Corporation and Niigata ...

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 ...

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.

Fish spawning aggregations (FSAs) are predictable congregations of conspecific fishes at specific sites and times for reproduction. These events underpin the replenishment of many commercially and ...

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 ...

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 ...

The success of the test has proven that mature individuals in the artificially bred Yangtze sturgeon population have the ...

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 ...
