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 ...

Boston, MA - Scientists have developed an automated assay that takes the pulse of a strain of zebra-fish embryos that have fluorescent myocardia; the method can be used to monitor zebra-fish embryo ...

(CN) — When it comes to survival, timing is everything — even for fish embryos. And according to researchers, these embryos aren’t just waiting around for the perfect moment to hatch. They’re actively ...

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.

New research has revealed that fish embryos actively control their hatching timing through a neurohormone, Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone (TRH), which triggers the release of enzymes that dissolve the ...

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 ...

A new study by researchers at Oregon State University found that fish embryos exposed to tiny amounts of pesticides for four days experienced lasting behavioral changes. It also found that the ...
