If you want to make your serratus anterior muscle look like toned fish gills, there's one exercise you need to be doing: the ...

Scientists have detected pesticides in rivers, lakes and oceans worldwide. So what are these pesticides doing to the fish?

Researchers used powerful tech to analyse thousands of individual cells at once, considering which genes are active and how DNA is organised within each cell.

Why are fish getting smaller as waters warm? It's not their gills Date: February 21, 2024 Source: University of Massachusetts Amherst Summary: A collaborative team of scientists recently found ...

Biologists find no link between fish size and gill surface area—study suggests that models underlying some projections of future fisheries yields need to be reconsidered AMHERST, Mass. – A ...

The outer ears that sit on the sides of your head share an unexpected genetic heritage with the gills of fish. According to research published in the journal Nature by scientists from the ...

There’s something fishy going on in the water. Across Earth’s oceans, fish are shrinking — and no one can agree why. It’s happening with salmon near the Arctic Circle and skate in the ...

Humans' outer ears may have evolved from the gills of prehistoric fish, a new study finds. Gene-editing experiments indicate that cartilage in fish gills migrated into the ear canal millions of years ...

It’s evolutionary biology. In a fascinating new discovery, scientists have found evidence suggesting that the flexible outer part of human ears may have evolved from the gills of ancient fish.

Thirteen of the eels managed to get their tails out via the gills, and nine successfully escaped. The escapees took an average of 56 seconds to fully remove themselves from the fish.

So, if humans evolved from fish, why don't we have gills? Part of the answer is practical: Gills need to stay wet in order to work, which isn't ideal for animals that don't live underwater.

Some teenage Japanese eels have found a way to avoid becoming a fish’s next meal. Anguilla japonica eels can escape a predator’s stomach through the fish’s gills.
