The Cretaceous–Palaeogene (K–Pg) mass extinction is linked to the rapid emergence of ecologically divergent higher taxa (for example, families and orders) across terrestrial vertebrates, but its impact on the diversification of marine vertebrates is less clear. Spiny-rayed fishes (Acanthomorpha) provide an ...

Humans make huge use of marine vertebrates, but manta rays may pass the self-awareness test and other fish potentially could too. Ethically ... in 2014 by Culum Brown, an associate professor at Macquarie University, Sydney, explains that fish are one of the vertebrate taxa most highly utilised by humans.

One's fluffy, with big ears and whiskers; the other breathes with gills and ripples its way around the ocean. One is a lab animal or household pest; the other is most likely to be seen in the wild, or the bottom of a shallow pool at an aquarium.

“I was frantic, running around like a lunatic, trying to save these animals,” recalls Brown, who is now a marine biologist at Macquarie University in Sydney. Ultimately, he managed to rescue hundreds of fish, about 60 of which he adopted. Some of them lived in his home aquariums for more than 10 years.

Greenland sharks have the longest lifespan of any vertebrate animal, so it is perhaps unsurprising that the species would boast the oldest living ... should be considered among the absolute oldest animals in the world,” said marine biologist Julius Nelson, whose research team studied the shark's longevity.

"The scales of most fish that live today are very different from the ancient scales of early vertebrates," says study author Dr Andrew Gillis from Cambridge's Department of Zoology and the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole. "Primitive scales were much more tooth-like in structure, but have been ...

This may seem like a silly thing to investigate, but fish, as a category of animal, are among the most recognizable and used vertebrates on the planet. We raise them as livestock to be consumed. We keep them as pets. We go to visit exotic species of them at aquariums. We use them routinely in scientific ...

Marine Vertebrate Collection Manager Ben Frable shared this photo of a young Gulper eel, Saccopharynx lavenbergi, that was brought up off the coast of San Diego from about 500 to 700 meters (550 to 750 yards) depth by undergraduate marine biology majors during a one-day cruise last month. This was ...
