Researchers down under were surprised to discover 57 hybrid sharks off Australia’s east coast. These black-tip sharks are crossbreeds of two species and display characteristics of both. These sharks were able to interbreed because they were of the same created kind, not because they were evolving into a new kind of creature.
A team reports in the journal Proceedings B that fish gills may not have evolved to help fish breathe. Yet no aspect of the study explains how gills—or any aspect of fish anatomy—could have evolved given that we have not observed information-adding genetic mutations.
Chances are your child’s picture book of “scary animals” features a piranha, and the last thing you expected to hear about was a vegetarian piranha. But scientists have found one, and it is completely herbivorous!
More than sixty species of fish can escape their watery world and glide through the air. This unusual skill enables them to escape underwater predators and cover vast distances quickly. The design of flying fish may prove useful for future airplanes.
Although small, these fish are known to play an important role in the fight against malaria as they prey on mosquito larvae.
Some fish swap sexes for survival. How do biblical creationists explain this?
Though a mystery to evolutionists, the incredible variety of cichlid fish showcases the Creator’s brilliant design for His creatures to diversify.

What many people may not know is how the cleaning relationship exhibited by the cleaner wrasses demonstrates God’s design, even in the post-fall world.
The tiny tropical fangblenny reveals fangs when it opens its mouth, but unusual venom is the real key to its defense—and to the defense of its look-alikes.
Discovery of sophisticated eyes in a fossilized hagfish has dethroned the modern blind hagfish as the only observable intermediate form in eye evolution.
Walking fish, waterfall-climbing cavefish with a tetrapod-like pelvic girdle, and the gene that shapes skates’ gills all supposedly show how legs evolved.
A fish with sunburn? Not a chance! God provided a wash-free, eco-friendly sunscreen we hope to imitate.
Scientists once thought cave fish lost their sight by accident. Now we know they were designed that way!
A surprising report supports the creationist idea that diversification can take place rapidly.
While it may look more like an underwater ice cream truck, the boxfish’s square design has distinct advantages over its sleek competitors.
Subzero water is a death trap for most animals. Icefish, on the other hand, make their home in it.
Did jawed vertebrates start out with bones or not? Evolutionists want to know.

Will fish out of water evolve?
In the twilight zone, bright sharks know how to hide in the light.
How could anyone resist a face like this?
The fearsome piranha’s vegetarian version uses its teeth to shred plants, not meat.
Evolutionists suggest that we can thank an early jawless fish’s experimentation for the fact that we have right and left versions of our arms and legs.
Development of “pre-hands” in fish said to show how terrestrial animals evolved limbs.
Biological cloaking design of silver fish offers biomimetic possibilities.
Blind cavefish cousins provide evidence consistent with Flood geology model of earth’s history.
Researchers down under were surprised to discover 57 hybrid sharks off Australia’s east coast.
Humanity was never meant to venerate or worship nature, but rather to preserve, protect, and harvest the bounty provided by God through His physical creation.
Sticklebacks said to recycle ancient genetic information in “an evolutionary blink of an eye.”
Recently marine biologists noticed the importance of a seemingly useless small fin on the backs of salmon.
Leaping blenny leads the way to land.
Certain species of sharks have developed “mental maps” to help them find destinations in their range with pinpoint accuracy
It’s not easy being a great white shark—how can such a massive body ever hope to sustain high speeds in such cold water?
Thinking of taking a GPS-powered navigational device on your next road trip? Why not let a shark “ride shotgun” instead?
In April 2009 we reported on a study showing that mosquito fish can perform basic math tasks (specifically, counting and comparing numbers of symbols). New research goes a step farther, suggesting that mosquito fish have the numerical skills of college students.
“[O]ne of the fastest evolutionary responses ever recorded in wild populations,” claims a press release about recent research. But is it really “evolution”?
At least in terms of shape, the hammerhead shark is one of God’s stranger creations. Or was it a “creation” of evolution?
Did fish gills evolve to help fish breathe, or did they evolve to help fish regulate body chemicals? Or did fish gills evolve at all?
The word “piranha” conjures up visions of vast schools of small fishes quickly devouring anyone that should happen to fall into the river by accident.
PDF DownloadIt’s a bit of a riddle: three fish are totally unlike one another, yet they’re all the same species. How can it be?
The brownsnout spookfish isn’t exactly a household name, but scientists have just discovered its claim to fame: eyes that incorporate not only lenses, but also mirrors to see into murky Pacific Ocean depths.
The beautiful clownfish possesses incredible navigation abilities.
After young orange clownfish hatch, they spend nearly two weeks in the open sea, probably carried by currents far from home.
The latest entities speaking in favor of evolution may be 400-million-year-old fish, according to researchers reporting in the journal Science.
Evolution supposedly had constructive results over millions of years. But what about a new study documenting “reverse evolution” in the last half century?
A University of Florida study focusing on genes that control “how and where body parts develop in animals” has resulted in evidence that the genetic “potential” to grow fingers and toes is found in sharks as well as bony fish.
A frilled shark living over half a mile under the sea has been caught on tape. Evolutionists and creationists are both calling this a “living fossil.”
