fish

A new study has found that blue streak cleaner fish are capable of recognizing their own reflection in photos.

A video of a tuna fish reacting to flash photography and swimming headfirst into the aquarium's glass has resurfaced online sparking a debate.

These photos show newly discovered deep-sea creatures living in the far reaches of the Indian Ocean close to underwater volcanos.

Scientists from the Nagoya Institute of Technology (NITech) have developed a simple, fast, and energy-efficient method to create a carbon nanostructure made from fish scales that results in a vastly more efficient LED.

Dragonfish are a species of deep-sea predator and while there are many types of dragonfish, this particular bronze-colored species is incredibly rare.

Joe Subolefsky, a well-traveled Maryland-based wildlife photographer, shot a photo that he says captures the daily struggle between predator and prey: it is of a cormorant trying to swallow a fish that almost looked too big to be its meal.

The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) recently spotted an exceedingly rare find: a barreleye fish (Macropinna microstoma). This strange deep-sea dweller has a transparent head it sees through with its tubular eyes.

It seems like drone manufacturers aren't going to run out of innovations anytime soon. PowerVision has just created the PowerRay, an underwater drone that will take photos, video, and detect fish.

Japanese researchers have released photos and videos of the deepest fish ever captured on camera. The snailfish was found in the Mariana Trench at a depth of 8,178m (~5.08 miles) and filmed with 4K cameras.

This is the archerfish from Asia. These amazing fish have the unusual habit of feeding on land-based insects. Even more unique is their method of hunting their chosen prey: they spit a powerful jet of water at their dinner knocking it from overhanging foliage into the water, where the fish quickly gobbles them up!

This gorgeous video was captured by Le Cut Studio with a DJI Phantom 4 flying high above Bondi Beach in Sydney Australia. It shows a lone seal swimming (fishing, really) through a massive school of fish just below the surface of the water.

Photographer Suren Manvelyan is back with more of the types of images that he's made his name capturing. Namely: intense macro photographs of the strange shapes and landscapes found in animals' eyes.

In 2011 we shared part one, in 2013 part two, and now we get to share part three: a fishy exploration into the eyes of animals that spend much or all of their time underwater... and an owlet.

Update: Since we published this, a reader and retinal neuroscientist wrote up a rebuttal, explaining why this couldn't possibly work in humans. Click here to read his full explanation.

Mind = Blown. A camera sensor might fall short of the human eye in a lot of respects, but one area where it exceeds it is infrared. The sensor can see it (sometimes with a little bit of help), but humans can't... or can they?

A crowd-funded experiment maintains that they can, given a little bit of dietary help. And they just got their first positive results, successfully extending human vision to 950nm!

Here’s a short jealousy-inducing behind the scenes look at some of what storied underwater photographer …

A few years ago, Bangkok-based photographer Visarute Angkatavanich started selling his work through microstock sites, and so he went in search of some interesting subjects to populate his gallery and generate some sales. Interestingly, he found what he was looking for in his own house: his pet fish.

For the past three years, San Diego-based photographer Octavio Aburto has had a specific photo idea brewing in his mind. He wanted to photograph the incredible underwater tornado that forms when massive groups of fish congregate to reproduce. This past November, he finally got his photo opportunity while diving with his friend David at Cabo Pulmo National Park in Mexico. The beautiful 24-second video above shows what Aburto witnessed.

Hong Kong-based photographer Alexander Safonov shoots incredible underwater photographs showing scenes teeming with marine life.

Evolution is a series of photographs by photographer Ted Sabarese showing people with fish they resemble.

This is probably not the most ergonomic camera body, but it puts fisheye into a whole different context. Back in …
