Why does a Caribbean angelfish sometimes resemble its Indo-Pacific cousin, even though they have never lived in the same ...

The research maps biofluorescence across 459 glowing fish species and shows just how varied the colors have become.

Nighttime drops in ocean oxygen raise energy use in small reef fish. Repeated stress could affect reef health as oceans warm.

In the first global assessment of its kind, a science team led by researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego has produced a landmark report on the impact of fishing on a group ...

A new study from NYU Abu Dhabi has found that small coral reef fish in the Arabian Gulf are facing a hidden but growing source of stress. When oxygen levels drop at night, a common occurrence on some ...

In an article recently published in the journal Global Change Biology, researchers comprehensively examined the physiological responses of coral reef fishes to extreme thermal variability in the ...

Researchers have found that reef fish from the Arabian Gulf, the world's hottest sea, exhibit a higher tolerance to temperature fluctuations compared to those from more thermally stable coral reefs.

If you liked this story, share it with other people. Mike Gil, an ecologist at the University of Colorado Boulder, deployed video cameras to “spy” on coral reef fish over months and found that they ...

Coral reefs all over the world, already threatened by rising temperatures brought about by climate change, also face serious challenges from the possibility of fish species extinctions. According to a ...

Almost half of all marine angelfishes surveyed so far hybridize frequently, both with close relatives and with distant relations, highlighting the question: what is a species? A juvenile marine ...
