A new study has revealed that two top ocean predators—northern resident killer whales and Pacific white-sided dolphins—join forces to find and feast on salmon off B.C., with the first video of its kind showing the two species hunting for food and suggesting they have forged a co-operative relationship that may provide mutual benefits.  

Norway is the world’s largest producer of farmed Atlantic salmon and a top exporter of seafood, while the United States remains the largest importer of these products, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization.

Almost 8,000 animal species could be pushed closer to extinction by the end of this century as the interacting effects of climate change-driven extreme heat and human land-use change create increasingly unsuitable conditions across their habitats, according to new research from a international research team led by Dr Reut Vardi of the School of Geography and the Environment, University of Oxford.

Once seen as a source of alarm, drones (or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, UAVs) are now proving to be surprisingly elephant-friendly and a valuable research tool.

Penguins living off the coast of South Africa have likely starved to death en masse during their moulting season as a result of collapsing food supplies.

Fifteen years after the devastating Deepwater Horizon oil spill poured an estimated 134 million gallons of oil into the marine environment, vital long-term monitoring work involving University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa oceanographers continues to chart the slow path to recovery for the region’s deep-sea coral communities, providing critical information to guide their restoration.
