The annual killifish lives in regions with extreme drought. A research group at the University of Basel now reports in Science that the early embryogenesis of killifish diverges from that of other ...

Hair, nails, and horns, all made up of keratin, are some of the hardest and most resilient structures in animals. Inside zebrafish cells, keratin plays a distinct role, giving them the strength they ...

Ocean acidification can negatively impact the early life-stages of marine fish, due to energetic costs incurred by the maintenance of acid–base homeostasis, leaving less energy available for growth ...

A multi-omics study of cold-shock-induced triploid large yellow croaker embryos found comparable developmental timing and broadly preserved transcriptome organization, with localized transcriptional ...

China is putting textile wastewater through a survival test. The country's new textile discharge standard adds a requirement for certain dyeing and finishing operations to demonstrate that fish ...

Plastic contamination in freshwater ecosystems continues to rise, resulting in micro- and nanoparticle accumulation in the aquatic environment. A new study by an aquatic ecology group at the ...

Dolutegravir, one of the most widely prescribed antiretroviral drugs in the world, may interfere with the developing heart and blood vessels of an embryo, according to a new study published in ...

Plastic pollution in freshwater is increasing, leading to micro- and nanoplastic buildup. A study found these particles and their surface charge can harm fish reproduction, especially under stress.
