Note to editors: Multimedia, including photos, can be found via Dropbox (password: fishery). A simple body-shape analysis can reveal what part of the ocean a fish came from, according to a new study ...

Researchers have found that the hydrodynamic environment of fish can shape their physical form and swimming style. Researchers from the University of Minnesota's Institute of Technology have found ...

Segmented hinges in the long, thin bones of fish fins are critical to the incredible mechanical properties of fins, and this design could inspire improved underwater propulsion systems, new robotic ...

Researchers investigated the science behind the formation of the 'V' patterns -- also known as chevron patterns -- in the swimming muscles of fish. The study focused on the myotome (a group of muscles ...
