There are times when fish appear telepathic. Consider the uncanny way a school of bait fish moves as one to avoid a predator, or the way goldfish in their lighted bowl turn toward the glass when ...

Scientists have been studying a fish sensory organ to understand cues for collective behavior which could be employed on underwater robots. Scientists, led by University of Bristol, have been studying ...

When brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) transition into small fish capable of swimming and leaving their gravel nests in the rivers of North America, they face numerous survival challenges. They must ...

Have you ever noticed how difficult it is to touch a fish in the water? Maybe you’ve stood on the beach with a school of fish swimming around you and attempted to grab one. Or perhaps you’ve been ...

Special sensory cells in fish respond reliably to swirly wakes, allowing fish to hunt down prey or join a friendly school by reading the watery traces, a paper to appear in Physical Review Letters ...

An investigation into the lateral line sensing organ of African cichlid fish could lead to a low-cost pressure sensor for underwater robots. This is the claim of scientists at Bristol University who ...

Scientists, led by University of Bristol, have been studying a fish sensory organ to understand cues for collective behaviour which could be employed on underwater robots. This work was centred around ...
