- 1New microscope captures living cells of Antarctic fish in extreme cold●Researchers engineered a novel microscope capable of operating near 0 degrees Celsius, enabling the first-ever high-reso
Researchers have engineered a microscope that operates near 0 degrees Celsius, allowing the first high-resolution imaging of living cells in Antarctic fish. The observations aim to reveal how these fish survive in frigid waters, with potential implications for cryobiology, cell biology and marine science.

Scientists have discovered that fish gills carry their own distinct microbiome, a community of microbes previously unknown to science. The finding suggests gills, long studied mainly for respiration, also serve as a specialised microbial habitat, potentially reshaping understanding of fish health, aquaculture disease management and how aquatic animals interact with their watery environment.
- 4Ossie the sea turtle released from Tybee Island marine center▼Ossie leaves Tybee's marine science center for life in the wild
Ossie, a sea turtle long cared for at the Tybee Island Marine Science Center in Georgia, has been released to live in the wild. The release marks the end of the animal's rehabilitation at the coastal facility, which rescues and cares for stranded sea turtles before returning healthy animals to the ocean.
- 5Former marine biologists win South Australia's best specialty restaurant award●Two former marine biologists turned restaurateurs awarded SA’s Best Specialty Restaurant
Two former marine biologists who swapped science for hospitality have been named South Australia's Best Specialty Restaurant. The award recognises the couple's unusual career change, moving from marine research to running a restaurant, and puts their venue at the top of the state's specialty dining category.
