At over one ton per square inch pressure, your meal would either be extremely tenderized or as tough as shoe leather.

Largest great white shark ever caught on camera. Biologists estimate this pregnant shark to be around 50 years old. Do they ever go into menopause?

This Technicolor Mutant Zebrafish Is Synthetic Biology's Craziest Creation Yet It sounds ripped out of the pages of a science fiction novelor maybe a Lisa Frank catalogbut the genetically modified, brilliantly colored zebra fish pictured above is no fantasy. It was created by scientists, to explore one of the most elusive processes in biology: tissue regeneration. http://gizmodo.com/this-technicolor-...gys-1766125296 |

Fish eat plastic like teens eat fast food, researchers say Young fish become hooked on eating plastic in the seas in the same way that teenagers prefer unhealthy fast food, Swedish researchers have said. Their study, reported in Science, found exposure to high concentrations of polystyrene makes perch larvae favour the particles over more natural foods. As a result of exposure to plastic, the young perch are smaller, slower and more susceptible to predators. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-36435288 |

Giant goldfish threatening freshwater species in WA waterways, researchers find Unwanted pet goldfish are being dumped into waterways and growing as large as 1.9 kilograms, researchers in Western Australia have found. Dr Stephen Beatty from the school of Veterinary and Life Sciences at Perth's Murdoch University has been working on a control program for Busselton's Vasse River for the past 12 years. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-08-1...rivers/7747824 |

Scientists reveal how goldfish make alcohol to survive without oxygen
Scientists at the Universities of Oslo and Liverpool have uncovered the secret behind a goldfish's remarkable ability to produce alcohol as a way of surviving harsh winters beneath frozen lakes. Humans and most other vertebrate animals die within a few minutes without oxygen. Yet goldfish and their wild relatives, crucian carp, can survive for days, even months, in oxygen-free water at the bottom of ice-covered ponds. https://phys.org/news/2017-08-scient...rvive.html#jCp |

This Adorable Little Creature Is the Deepest Living Fish Ever Seen
Only the hardcore survive in the Mariana Trench: At 11 km, it's the deepest part of our planet's oceans, a nearly-alien world right here on Earth. Creatures living in the trench have adapted to survive the extreme pressure, cold, and darkness by evolving into just about the weirdest shit you'll ever see: anglerfish, flying saucer-like jellies, isopods and lizard fish straight out of science fiction. https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/a...fish-ever-seen |

Mariana Snailfish: Deepest-ever Fish Discovered at 26,000 Feet under the Sea The deepest-ever species of fish has been recovered from the Mariana Trench. Thriving at 26,200 feet below sea level, the small, slimy and translucent fish have somehow adapted to one of the harshest places in the ocean. Earlier this year, a Japanese team filmed suspected snailfish swimming as deep 26,830 feet, but did not recover any samples. http://www.newsweek.com/mariana-snai...000-sea-725544 |

This Mysterious Deep-Sea Creature Has Never Been Seen Alive Before. Until Now. In the deep North Atlantic, a small but ghastly-looking female anglerfish floats in the inky-black waters, eerily lit by her wispy, glowing fishing lure and the specks of light illuminating her long fin rays. Her ghostly glow reveals she isn't alone. Attached to her underside, her tiny "husband" a parasitic mate that had fused himself to her belly wafts in the water. https://www.livescience.com/62102-an...ale-video.html |

Wanted dead, not alive: the lionfish. You can make $5,000 if you get rid of them
How sick of the lionfish is the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission? Enough so to offer you up to $5,000 to catch the nasty critters and get them out of Florida waters. The FWC's Lionfish Removal and Awareness Day Challenge, running through Labor Day on Sept. 3, calls on both recreational and commercial fishermen and women to harvest lionfish and submit photos of the first 25 lionfish. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/sta...213543534.html |

Scientists built an armed robot to protect coral reefs from invasive lionfish Lionfish are incredibly eye-catching creatures, and theyre a favorite of salt water aquarium enthusiasts because they just plain look cool. Theyre also an incredibly troublesome species when they are introduced in areas where they dont belong, and coral reefs in the Caribbean are under serious threat from an invasion. Now, researchers from the Worcester Polytechnic Institute have developed an autonomous robot that is capable of hunting down lionfish all on its own. But the bot doesnt just identify and kill the invasive fish using sharp spears to snag the fish and bring it down it also allows for the dead fish to be fetched by fishermen who can harvest and sell it. https://bgr.com/2018/08/27/lionfish-...asive-species/ |

Entrepreneurs aim to end ghostfishing A small device, developed in Norway, will now be used in the battle against environmentally-unfriendly ghost fishing caused by lost or forgotten fishing gear. Fishing nets have long lifetimes and can cause major damage to marine life if they are abandoned at sea. There are examples of lost nets that have continued to trap fish for periods of up to 30 years. Ghost fishing by lost or forgotten pots kills thousands of lobsters and crabs every year. https://phys.org/news/2018-10-entrep...shing.html#jCp |
