Do you remember learning to swim? Fish larvae are pretty feeble when it comes to an efficient mode of swimming called 'burst-and-coast.' Dr Ulrike Müller from Wageningen University will discuss why ...

Small shifts in ocean temperature can have significant effects on the eating habits of blackfin tuna during the larval stage of development, when finding food and growing quickly are critical to ...

MIAMI —The first global analysis of larval orientation studies found that millimeter-size fish babies consistently use external cues to find their way in the open ocean. There are many external cues ...

Research by Rebecca Asch, a recent graduate of Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, shows a strong correlation between warmer ocean temperatures and changes in the timing of fish ...

MIAMI - A recent study provides new evidence that larvae swim faster, straighter and more consistently in a common direction when together in a group. The research led by scientists at the University ...

New research shows that many larval fish species from different ocean habitats are ingesting plastics in their preferred nursery habitat. The study will be published November 11, 2019 in the journal ...

Artist's reconstruction showing the life stages of the fossil lamprey Priscomyzon riniensis. It lived around 360 million years ago in a coastal lagoon in what is now South Africa. Clockwise from right ...

Teeming off Hawaii’s famous beaches is a complex web of life—sharks, turtles, seabirds—that relies enormously on tiny larval fish, the food for many species. In their first few weeks of existence the ...

It marks the first time this particular fish has been successfully raised from the larval stage in an aquarium setting.

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, ...
