There are about 28,000 species of bony fishes — the largest taxonomic group of vertebrates — and they have been around for a very long time (over 400 million years). So it’s no surprise that they have ...

Cartoons that illustrate evolution depict early vertebrates generating primordial limbs as they move onto land for the first time. But new findings indicate that some of these first ambulatory ...

Fish that are bred to be bolder or more shy show corresponding changes to their body shape and locomotion, suggesting that personality changes affect other seemingly unrelated traits. The findings ...

Amphibious fish have evolved a remarkable suite of locomotory strategies that enable them to navigate both aquatic and terrestrial environments. These species exhibit a range of adaptations—from ...

Researchers have introduced an innovative underwater vest equipped with an antioxidant MXene hydrogel for the sensitive recognition of fish locomotion. This novel device aims to deepen our ...

‘A European academic consortium is to build a robot fish that can swim predictably in moving and turbulent water. Lead institute Tallinn University of Technology in Estonia, together with Riga ...

An EU-funded project has developed robot fish with lateral line sensing, a sensing organ common to fish with no technological counterpart in man-made underwater vehicles. In an article published in ...

A species of fish known for its unusual ability to climbs trees has now been spotted hopping across water. The team that made the find says that it seems to be an entirely new form of fish locomotion.

Last year's movie smash Finding Nemo impressed many marine biologists with its scientific accuracy. Alison Abbott meets the young expert in fish biomechanics who helped to breathe life into the film's ...
