A tiny, noodle-sized fish in the Congo defies gravity to scale sheer waterfall cliffs.
One of the strangest tales in Icelandic folklore concerns a creature called the Loðsilungur, or the furry trout. The trout, as you might imagine, looks like a fish covered with a white shag of fur, which it allegedly evolved to stay warm in Nordic waters. The people of Iceland, especially the men, knew not to eat the furry trout. If a man did eat a furry trout, he would suffer the unfortunate…

These images of flounders come from an early 20th-century study published in 1911 in the _Journal of Experimental Zoology_ by American zoologist Francis Bertody Sumner.

For decades, fishing studies typically employed one-on-one mapping exercises, guided by a facilitator who helped fishing industry participants to draw polygons or mark points on a digital or a paper map of an area of interest.

At Robbie’s of Islamorada, the main attraction is not on the menu, in the gift shop, or even really on land. It is in the water below the dock, where big, silver tarpons gather to be fed.
The ritual traces back to 1976, when Robert “Robbie” Reckwerdt and his wife Mona found an injured tarpon near the marina. The fish had a badly torn jaw, and the couple nursed it back to health. Even after the…

On the negotiable boundary between life and what comes after it.
Low tide was conveniently at 1pm for some midday tidepooling. We’d been planning to walk to another beach farther away, but realized that the beach across from our hotel looked like it would have plenty of tidepools. Just as we got down to the beach, there was enough breeze and a bit of a drizzle […]
The evolutionary edge that fueled great white shark dominance for millions of years could soon become its greatest downfall. The ocean’s most iconic predators maintain warmer body temperatures than the surrounding seawater and are paying an increasingly steep price for it. As the oceans warm due to climate change, they now face the risk of […]
The Bronx River was once a curvy waterway that ran through vast forests and flowed into networks of tidal marshland. For centuries, river herring have swum up the waterway from the East River and the Long Island Sound to lay their eggs. But the river they traverse looks far different now. The waterway has been […]
The days of Britain’s fish and chip shops might be numbered. Consumers in the U.K. are being warned to “completely avoid” all home-caught cod by the Marine Conservation Society (MCS).

It started in December, when dead fish began washing ashore New Ireland—a mountainous island in Papua New Guinea’s New Ireland Province, flanked by the Pacific Ocean and the Bismarck Sea. At first, just a few fish scattered the beaches—mostly small bluestripe herring, which school in shallow tropical waters. Within a few weeks, they were landing […]
