Red Fish, Blue Fish, One Fish Becomes Two Fish

Changes in vision lead to new species in cichlids in a form of sexual selection not usually seen (or at least not usually recognized).

In acidic oceans, sound carries further

Darkfrog submitted, created time 5 days 16 hours (sciencenow.sciencemag.org)

It seems that as the oceans grow more acidic with all this atmospheric CO2, sounds begin to travel longer distances before they dissipate. Despite what one might think, this is not good news for whales and dolphins, which use sound to communicate and travel. Military sonar can already disrupt cetacean behavior as much as five hundred kilometers away. If things continue at the current rate, then by 2050, these sounds will travel 70% further in some parts of the Atlantic.

Mutualism alters fish behavior

Darkfrog submitted, created time 6 days 17 hours (www.nature.com)

A type of fish called the cleaner wrasse seems to haev a calming effect on local predators. The wrasse eat parasites off the scales of larger fish and even provide what Nature writers have called "a calming massage" with their fins. In return, the client fish keep returning to the wrasses' territory to provide them with more food.

However, what researchers have recently noticed is that client fish stop hunting each other while in wrasse territory--even while they are waiting to be served.

Explorers find hundreds of undescribed corals, other species on familiar Australian reefs

Hundreds of new kinds of animal species surprised international researchers systematically exploring waters off two islands on the Great Barrier Reef and a reef off northwestern Australia -- waters long familiar to divers. The expeditions, affiliated with the global Census of Marine Life, help mark the International Year of the Reef and included the first systematic scientific inventory of spectacular soft corals, named octocorals for the eight tentacles that fringe each polyp

New giant clam species offers window into human past

Researchers report the discovery of the first new living species of giant clam in two decades, according to a report to be published online on August 28th in Current Biology, a Cell Press publication. While fossil evidence reveals that the...

Jellyfish plague coastal waters, a symptom of deeper problems

Darkfrog submitted, created time 1 month 4 weeks (www.nytimes.com)

Well, I can say with confidence that the jellyfish have been showing up on the coast of New Jersey more or less on schedule midsummer--just as the water turns from cold to warm--for about twenty years now. I only remember one year that could be called a bona-fide infestation. (Word of advice: ALWAYS rinse off and change clothes before the drive home. It's keeping the stingers next to your skin that causes what I'll delicately call "dermatological side effects.") This year wasn't one of them

Lawsuit puts sea bass experiments on hold

Darkfrog submitted, created time 2 months 17 hours (www.nature.com)

Any Dr. Evil fans out there? FIsh farmers' attempts to train sea-bass (no note is given as to whether they are ill-tempered) have been halted by a lawsuit.

The Food and Water Watch has had a temporary injunction issued, claiming that there has not been enough investigation as to whether the food cage to be used in the experiment will not pollute surrounding waters. Fine with me. Investigation is good. We should all know the risks, because there are GOING to be risks.

Overly furry secret agents were in no danger, though

Fishing Bans May Save Corals from Killer Starfish

sea-maid submitted, created time 2 months 1 week (www.sciam.com)

Good news for the world's vanishing corals: a new study shows that commercial fishing bans in Australia's Great Barrier Reef kept a lid on coral-gobbling starfish.

"This is definitely good news for coral," says John Bruno, an associate professor of marine science at the University of North Carolina (U.N.C.) at Chapel Hill.

Researchers found that there were as many as seven times fewer outbreaks of coral-killing crown-of-thorns starfish—which can have up to twenty spike-covered arms and grow up to two feet (0

Microbes beneath sea floor genetically distinct

Tiny microbes beneath the sea floor, distinct from life on the Earth's surface, may account for one-tenth of the Earth's living biomass, according to an interdisciplinary team of researchers, but many of these minute creatures are living on a geologic...

Warming Spells Trouble for Fish

Model predicts extinctions for polar fish and other species unable to migrate.

Slip-eyed flatfish found!

Darkfrog submitted, created time 2 months 3 weeks (www.nature.com)

Although young flatfish have one eye on each side of their heads, the adult flatfish sports both on one side. This allows the fish to lie on the sea floor looking up and still retain its depth perception. This ocular migration has puzzled gradual evolutionists. If the trait evolved gradually over many generations, then why aren't there fossils showing fish with partially migrated eyes?

Well today's Nature posts the discovery of two such fish fossils, blowing a giant raspberry at both creationists and sudden-jump evolutionists alike.

Deep trouble--fish seeking colder waters may have nowhere to go

sea-maid submitted, created time 3 months 13 hours (www.nature.com)

An increasing number of species are migrating in response to global warming; some alpine organisms are climbing to higher altitudes. Other animals are moving towards the poles.

A new study suggests that as sea temperatures rise, many fish may be electing to move into deeper, cooler waters, rather than moving to higher latitudes as many theorists had previously predicted. This presents a problem: the deeper the fish go, the less light and food they find.

Double life of sea bacteria

Analysis of marine cyanobacteria and proteobacteria genomes has provided a profound understanding of the life strategies of these organisms and their ecotype differentiation and metabolisms.

Diving lessons from the world's biggest fish

kavin submitted, created time 3 months 2 weeks (www.nature.com)

The world’s biggest fish--the whale shark--doesn’t have a reputation for speed. But researchers have discovered that although the fish seem sluggish on the surface, deep down they are deceptively fast.
