Scientists recently tried something new with tambaqui fish, a type of Amazonian fish. They added different amounts of an essential oil from a plant called Croton conduplicatus to their food. This oil has certain compounds like 1, 8-Cineole, p-Cymene, and α-Phellandrene. The fish were fed this specia
Today, the mercury climbed to the upper 30s, and rain filled the skies of Central Minnesota. For ice anglers, these conditions aren't exactly perfect.

Handling stress is a big deal in fish farming. Zebrafish, a common fish in labs and farms, hasn't been studied enough for their stress response when they're young. Scientists wanted to see how zebrafish larvae react to a sudden stress situation. They spun the tiny fish in a vortex for a minute and c
