The African turquoise killifish lives in ephemeral ponds in Zimbabwe and Mozambique. To survive the annual dry season, the fish's embryos enter a state of extreme suspended animation or 'diapause' for ...

The African turquoise killifish ages so quickly that its entire life story can unfold between one human birthday and the next. That compressed timeline is helping scientists watch kidney aging in fast ...

When the ponds where one African fish lives dry up, its offspring put their lives on pause. And now researchers have a sense for how the creatures do it. African turquoise killifish embryos can halt ...

Tokyo police on March 8 arrested five men on suspicion of illegally breeding and selling killifish that were genetically modified to make them “red and shiny.” Genetically modified organisms can ...

Fish treated with SGLT2 inhibitors maintained healthier kidneys as they aged. Their kidneys preserved denser networks of capillaries, retained a stronger filtration barrier, and showed more stable ...

The annual killifish lives in regions with extreme drought. A research group now reports that the early embryogenesis of killifish diverges from that of other species. Unlike other fish, their body ...

Killifish sound much more vicious than they are. These tiny fish adapt and spread far in the wild but make beautiful fish for display in your home. Killifish is a group of around 1,270 species of ...

UC Davis research on embryonic killifish reveals new insights into the multi-generational impacts of exposure to crude oil and flame retardants. (Bryan Clark, U.S. EPA) A tiny fish with transparent ...
