Fish represent one of the most diverse groups of vertebrates, exhibiting a wide array of physiological adaptations that have enabled them to colonise nearly every aquatic habitat on Earth. Central to ...

Benchmark Genetics and Nofima have joined forces to launch a new project aimed at addressing one of the most critical ...

A new study explains how small genetic changes enabled electric fish to evolve electric organs. The finding might also help scientists pinpoint the genetic mutations behind some human diseases.

A new study published in Science Advances explores the unique evolutionary processes among certain genes in certain fish species that allowed them to develop electric organs (think: the electric eel).
