Do fish sleep? Even scientists have struggled to understand the process, but new research reveals how different species rest.

Scientists have shown that light pollution—especially light in the blue spectrum—can alter the behavior of fish after only a ...

The researchers monitored the hatching and mortality rates of the larvae every 24 hours, for seven days. Zebrafish embryos ...

Exposure to artificial light at night led to anxiety-like behaviors in fish, with these effects being inherited by their ...

This story appears in the September 2017 issue of National Geographic magazine. For a creature that’s less than one and a half inches long, the zebrafish (Danio rerio) looms large in biomedical ...

One advantage of this model is that around 70% of the genes found in zebrafish (Danio rerio) are also found in humans. The findings from the zebrafish model can therefore likely be transferred to ...

A zebrafish is scientifically known as Danio rerio and commonly referred to as a zebra danios. It is a small freshwater fish ...

Artificial light at night (ALAN), particularly blue light, disrupts fish behavior and affects their offspring.
