Anxious aquatic life: Murky water found to affect fish growth and impair their health, warn researchers
As the waters of coastal areas grew more murky due to the rising amounts of sediments coming from inland, the fish living in those places became more nervous and timid. Australian researchers suspected that such drastic alterations in behavior would hamper the proper growth of the animals, thereby reducing a fish’s chances of surviving in the changing environment. […]

Study reveals glass knifefish use tiny active sensing motions to keep track of their surroundings
Researchers are finally beginning to understand how the brain of an organism controls its active senses. An experiment with glass knifefish (Eigenmannia virescens) revealed that the tiny active sensing motions performed by the animal are controlled via sensory feedback. The tiny movements increase the accuracy of the data that is being sent to the brain of the fish. These […]

New study finds that 100 PERCENT of sea turtles have plastics in their bellies
The next time you come across a sea turtle in the wild, remember that there are pieces of plastic trash inside the animal’s belly. And if that is not stomach-churning enough for you, imagine the damage caused by jagged pieces of toxic pollutant tumbling inside your belly. Researchers in the United Kingdom raised this issue after checking more than 100 […]

Engineers develop revolutionary technology that uses solar energy to turn seawater into potable water
Solar energy is often used to power the process that converts undrinkable seawater into potable liquid. Italian researchers found a way to vastly increase the efficiency of the solar-powered desalination process, resulting in at least twice the amount of drinkable water compared to older approaches. Desalination removes salt from seawater so that it can be […]

“Sounds” like home: Baby coral choose their home using acoustics and low-frequency sound
When a family is thinking about moving into a new neighborhood, they will scope out the area first and see if it is any good. In a similar vein, the larvae of coral pick a place to call home based on the sounds made by the animals there, said American researchers. Once a larva decides to settle […]

Are organized clean-ups really saving the world’s beaches?
In response to the increasing amounts of plastic trash that are washing up on the shorelines of the world, many concerned groups are rallying people to gather up the beach litter for proper disposal. But these organized clean-up efforts are only a drop in the world ocean-full of plastic waste. The beaches of Roatan reflect […]

Plastic pollution at its WORST: Research finds that sea scallops can ingest BILLIONS of microplastics particles in just 6 hours
Is your mouthful of seafood tasting less like a meal and more like poisonous plastic? U.K. researchers recently warned about the dangerous amounts of microplastic pollutants that can get into the bodies of marine animals that humans catch and eat for food. Researchers at the University of Manchester (Manchester) conducted several experiments where they exposed […]

It takes just 6 hours for billions of nanoplastics to accumulate in marine organisms
The next time your dinner plate contains any kind of clam harvested from the sea, you may want to order a plant-based salad instead. A recent British study has shown that scallops and other similar marine bivalve mollusks can get completely contaminated by nano-sized bits of plastics after just a few hours of exposure. The great scallop (Pecten […]

Ecologists warn that water-dwelling creatures are being inundated with antidepressants from human waste that gets flushed out to waterways
Australian researchers warned that Melbourne’s waterways contain high levels of dozens of different pharmaceutical drugs. These chemical antibiotics, antidepressants, and painkillers have not just contaminated the water itself, but have also tainted the local aquatic animals. According to their survey of creeks in Victoria, animals in the most heavily contaminated creek could accidentally ingest up […]

Uranium mining has dramatically increased the rates of cardiovascular and metabolic disease among those living close to the mines
All of the uranium mines in New Mexico have remained dormant since the last one shut down in 1998. But their long-term health effects are still being felt by the people of Navajo Nation, who are plagued by a high rate of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders attributed to living near the mining sites. Researchers at New Mexico Institute […]
