Hovering Fish Expend Twice the Energy of Resting

A new study in PNAS reveals that hovering, or stationary positioning, in fish unexpectedly doubles their energy consumption compared to resting, irrespective of swim bladder presence; elongated fish expend even more energy due to body shape.

What is the energy cost of hovering in fish, and what are the immediate implications for their physiology and behavior?

A recent study published in PNAS reveals that hovering, a behavior where fish remain stationary in the water column, requires significantly more energy than previously thought. Researchers found that hovering typically doubles a fish's oxygen consumption compared to resting, increasing energy needs and food requirements. This higher energy expenditure is consistent across various fish species, despite differences in body shape and the presence of a swim bladder.

How does MESOM's approach differ from previous missions like Proba-3, and what advantages does it offer?

MESOM's extended eclipse observation time will allow for more detailed study of solar flares and coronal mass ejections, crucial for understanding and predicting space weather events. This builds upon the ESA's Proba-3 mission, but MESOM will get significantly closer to the sun's corona, at 1.02 solar radii, than Proba-3.

How do the characteristics of the discovered burials—rock-hewn pits and minimal grave goods—support the hypothesis that they are ritualistic and sacrificial in nature?

The discovery on Nozadze Street is significant due to its unique burial style—rock-hewn pits containing minimal grave goods—unlike any previously documented on the Don River or elsewhere. This suggests a previously unknown ritual practice of the Kobyakovskaya culture, potentially related to a high-status individual's burial.

What factors contributed to the decrease in fish landings in Schleswig-Holstein in 2024?

The decline is attributed to rising fuel costs despite lower crude oil prices, reduced fishing areas due to offshore wind energy expansion and fishing bans in protected zones, and the non-exploitation of quotas for cod and herring, which are now only allowed as bycatch. Plattfisch (flatfish) were the main catch. ", A3=
