Trade in marine fish for aquariums includes threatened species, lacks oversight: Study
The United States is the main market for “ornamental” marine fish, those that end up as pets in aquariums. Now, a new study of U.S.-based online retailers has found that nearly 90% of traded species are sourced exclusively from the wild, including a number of threatened species, and that the trade is poorly tracked.

Modeling Adaptive Tracking of Predictable Stimuli in Electric Fish
The weakly electric fish \emph{Eigenmannia virescens} naturally swims back and forth to stay within a moving refuge, tracking its motion using visual and electrosensory feedback. Previous experiments show that when the refuge oscillates as a low-frequency sinusoid (below about 0.5 Hz), the tracking is nearly perfect, but phase lag increases and gain decreases at higher frequencies. Here, we model this nonlinear behavior as an adaptive internal model principle (IMP) system. Specifically, an adap…

PSA about food labeling in the US
We have a gluten detection service dog because many things that should be gluten free/say they’re gluten free are not actually gluten free.
Stuff gets contaminated when growing (e.g. next to wheat field), by shared equipment, in factories, from packaging, during transport and in-store.
Every US consumer should know:
1. The list of ingredients on food isn't exhaustive
2. Allergen labeling:
a) limited to just some allergens
b) manufacturers don't actually have to test
c) "certified" foods are tested—but not continuously
d) testing only works with enough contamination
Some certifications may require batch-testing, but usually they don't.
A "certified gluten free" product may e.g. contain oats which sometimes are contaminated with gluten—but as not every batch is tested it's impossible to know unless you test yourself (hence the service dog).
Even if the product is properly batch-tested, you might get a part of the product that has the allergen in it, whereas the tested part didn't.
Or the threshold was too low (our dog can detect gluten better than any available lab testing equipment; yes, dogs are amazing).
Food products also contain ingredients that do not have to be included on the label when they're "incidental" (included in an another ingredient) or if they're considered part of the manufacturing process but not of the final product (e.g. various coatings on factory equipment).
Don't need to list flavors or specific spices either. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
As for allergens, only those responsible for ~90% of food allergies* have to be specifically declared, and they're not tested for as it's simply based on the ingredients list.
Good luck if you have other allergies.

On Ternary Trees and Fighting Fish
Fighting fish is a combinatorial configuration introduced by Duchi et al. as a new model of branching surfaces that generalizes directed convex polyominoes. We come up with an alternative construction of fighting fish, using a tree structure built on the so-called stem cells of fighting fish. From this perspective, we establish a bijection between ternary trees and fighting fish with a marked strip of cells, which specializes to a direct bijection between left ternary trees and fighting fish.

A minimization principle behind the diffusion bridge of diurnal fish migration
Fish migration is a mass movement that affects the hydrosphere and ecosystems. While it occurs on multiple temporal scales, including daily and intraday fluctuations, the latter remains less studied. In this study, for a stochastic differential equation model of the intraday unit-time fish count at a fixed observation point, we demonstrate that the model can be derived from a minimization problem in the form of a stochastic control problem. The control problem assumes the form of the Schröding…

Stochastic Modeling of Fish Schooling Dynamics: Decomposition into Collective and Individual Movements
The movement of fish in schools can be effectively modeled using stochastic frameworks, particularly through descriptions based on random walk dynamics. In this study, we analyze fish motion by decomposing it into two components: the movement of the school's center of mass and the relative motion of individual fish with respect to this center. We demonstrate that the center of mass follows an active random walk subjected to hard wall interactions and driven by white noise, while individual fish…

A November 2024 report from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) reflects staggering numbers:
There are an estimated 96 million #birders in the United States
—more than a third of U.S. adults
—who together spent more than $107 billion in 2022.
In total, that’s more money than the 2022 gross domestic product of New Hampshire (and 10 other U.S. states).

Non-negative diffusion bridge of the McKean-Vlasov type: analysis of singular diffusion and application to fish migration
McKean-Vlasov stochastic differential equations (MVSDEs) have broad potential applications in science and engineering, but remain insufficiently explored. We consider a non-negative McKean-Vlasov diffusion bridge, a diffusion process pinned at both initial and terminal times, motivated by diurnal fish migration phenomena. This type of MVSDEs has not been previously studied. Our particular focus is on a singular diffusion coefficient that blows up at the terminal time, which plays a role in appl…

Two Issues in Modelling Fish Migration
Fish migration is a dynamic phenomenon observed in many surface water bodies on the earth, while its understanding is still insufficient. Particularly, the biological mechanism behind fish migration is not fully understood. Moreover, its observation is often conducted visually and hence manually, raising questions of accuracy and interpretation of the data sampled. We address the two issues, mechanism and observation, of fish migration based on a recently developed mathematical model. The resul…
