Researchers from Tohoku University have developed a model that simulates the motion of fish tail fins. The model uncovers the underlying mechanisms behind a commonly observed phenomenon in fish: how ...

They say two heads are better than one. But in the world of fish, it appears two fins are better than one. Researchers have produced a theoretical model that demonstrates the underlying mechanisms ...

New research finds some fishes' fins are as sensitive as the primates' fingertips, reports Carolyn Wilke of Science News. “We think about primates as kind of special in the sense that we have really ...

Fish fins aren’t just for swimming. They’re feelers, too. The fins of round gobies can detect textures with a sensitivity similar to that of the pads on monkeys’ fingers, researchers report November 3 ...

Two fish swimming at short distances interact via vortex flow and synchronize their tailbeat, resulting in a significant reduction of energy consumption. Researchers from Tohoku University have ...
