River Damming Leads To Dramatic Decline In Native Fish Numbers

Damming of the Colorado River over the last century, alongside introduction of game fish species, has led to an extensive decline in numbers of native fish* whilst introduced species have flourished. Scientists have found that physical changes which occur to a river when it is dammed have had an adverse effect only on native fish, due to differences in their life histories.

Volcanic Activity Shaped Mercury After All

A research team led by Brown University planetary geologist James Head has determined that volcanism played a central role in forming Mercury’s surface. The evidence of volcanic activity lends important insights into Mercury’s geologic history and appears in a special section describing the MESSENGER mission’s recent flyby of Mercury in the July 4 issue of Science.

Jailbreak: Source Official Map Pack and New Screens

Jailbreak is a Half-Life 2 modification similar to Team Deathmatch for Half-Life 2, but with a difference: two teams, two jails. When you kill a member of the opposite team, they respawn, locked up inside your jail. When a member of your team is killed, they respawn inside the enemy jail. Your objective is to imprison every member of the enemy team. The twist is that you can break out members of your own team, by fighting your way to the enemy jail and opening the doors. The game goes back and forth until one team is entirely locked up, the losers executed (in a variety of customised ways), then the next round begins.

Futuristic Dinosaur Eel Fish Armor Would Protect Soldiers With Scales, Sans Smelly Odors

A team of MIT engineers is hoping to develop tomorrow's body armor today with a fish whose family tree stretches back 96 million years. Called the Polypterus senegalus, or "dinosaur eel" to layman schlubs like me, this primitive fish still thrives in the muddy rivers of Africa, and has retained a full-body suit of armored scales that was common on species of fish millions of years ago. For years scientists have known that the eel's interlocking, millimeters-thick scales were capable of stopping penetrating attacks, but couldn't figure out why. Now, thanks to nanotechnology and a grant from the U.S. Army (go Joe!), they've figured it out.

That Would Explain the Zebra Fish Boom in Home Aquariums

Hey, zebra fish researchers: you've got a new set of admirers. The New York Times offers this Q&A with biologist Steven Farber, who in his spare time heads up a nonprofit group that brings zebra fish to inner-city classrooms in an attempt to teach kids about genetics and the scientific approach in general. Farber says the seven-year-old organization has been successful in capturing children's attention, and that zebra fish in particular have got kids "hooked." Recalling the first time he tried this, he says, "I was able to show live fish embryos. The kids could see organs forming. ... Afterward, the children said it was the best part of their day."

NASA reveals new discoveries about Mercury

NASA announced that recent analysis of data from a January 2008 flyby of the planet Mercury by the Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft shows that volcanoes were involved in plains formation and suggest that its magnetic field is actively produced in the planet's core.

Taiwan using RFID system to better understand fish products

The An Ping Live Fish Center in Tainan is applying technical platforms from the Institute for Information Industry and Microsoft in developing an RFID system that can be employed for live aquatic products. This revolutionary effort will let consumers review information about the fish they will soon be eating. A scanner will be required to scan the information on the aquatic products. Consumers will be able to see a full array of information on fisheries products, starting from fish fry until the fish have grown and are ready for the market. The data will also show delivery-related information. 　

MESSENGER Provides New Insights on Mercury

Data from the MESSENGER spacecraft's first flyby of Mercury in January of 2008 are now turning into science results. Several scientists discussed their findings at a press conference today highlighting the MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging mission, the first spacecraft to visit Mercury since NASA's Mariner 10 made three flyby passes in 1974 and 1975. Among the findings, scientists discovered volcanism has played a more extensive role in shaping the surface of Mercury than previously thought. MESSENGER data has also identified and mapped surface rock units that
