A team of biologists at the University of Padova, in Italy, has found that female zebrafish use their female reproductive fluid (FRF) to choose which sperm to use for fertilizing their eggs. In their study, published in the ...
Heat-stressed fish embryos release chemical signals that change the appearance, behavior, and development of fish embryos that were not heat stressed, according to a study. Stress during development can change how an embryo ...
