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 ...

Atlantic sturgeon make so much noise during breeding, it's called a "thunder." Listening in can help scientists pinpoint ...

"Maturation and spawning appear to be induced when the supply of oxygen relative to the weight of individual fish declines. Thus, growing fish gradually become oxygen-limited, and there is a threshold ...

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.

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, ...

You know it’s fall in the Ozarks when leaves start to turn color, temperatures start to cool… and brown trout start to leap upstream out of Lake Taneycomo. Odd though it may sound, “leap” — not swim — ...

Using active acoustic telemetry and sonar data, a study provides the first detailed documentation of a shallow water fish diving 450 feet deep to spawn. Prior research has shown that bonefish dive ...

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 ...

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

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – On Nov. 3, 2023, the U.S. Forestry Service temporarily interrupted the water flow to Taylor Creek from the Fallen Leaf Lake dam for three days. This raised concern from ...

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 ...

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 ...
