A fish has been captured by researchers swimming at never-before-recorded depths of over five miles below the ocean’s surface off the coast of Japan, researchers announced. The unknown species of ...

The lipstick-wearing fish "walks" along the ocean floor, ready for a night out. So long as that night out doesn't involve any swimming, that is.

Swimming in schools makes fish surprisingly stealthy underwater, with a group able to sound like a single fish. Engineers working with a high-tech simulation of schooling mackerel offer new insight ...

"It's widely known that swimming in groups provides fish with added protection from predators, but we questioned whether it also contributes to reducing their noise," said senior author Rajat Mittal. ...

Researchers have shown how different swimming formations may save fish energy and suggest that they only switch positions to save energy for the group when under pressure. The study, published as a ...

A new study of giant danios (not pictured) suggests schools of fish save 79 percent more energy in turbulent conditions than fish swimming individually. Gordon Firestein via Wikimedia Commons under CC ...

Researchers have a new idea about why fish swim in schools. Turns out when fish swim together in turbulent water, they use nearly 80% less energy. LEILA FADEL, HOST: Yangfan Zhang studies animal ...

Swimming through turbulent water is easier for schooling fish compared to solitary swimmers, according to a study published June 6 th in the open-access journal PLOS Biology by Yangfan Zhang of ...
