Lab-grown 'mini eyes' shed light on blindness in rare genetic disease

Genetic barriers, a warming ocean and an uncertain future for an important forage fish

Newswise – In vast oceans, one would assume that their inhabitants can travel very far and therefore populations of a species would mix freely. But that doesn’t seem to be the case for a vital forage fish called the sandeel. Sandeel is a small school of fish incredibly high in lipids, making it a fantastic …

Genetic barriers, a warming ocean and an uncertain future for an important forage fish

Sandeel, a vital forage fish, could face new challenges as the oceans warm. Researchers have discovered two genetically distinct populations of northern sand eel that could help inform conservation and management decisions. These sand eels were caught off Greenland.
