| Description: |
* Written by animal behavior experts from around the world * Editors are well known and respected in these subject areas * An understanding of fish learning is vital for personnel running commercially successful fish farms * Important information for fisheries managers globally. |
| Synopsis: |
The study of animal cognition has been largely confined to birds and mammals; a historical bias which has led to the belief that learning plays little or no part in the development of behaviour in fishes and reptiles. Research in recent decades has begun to redress this misconception and it is now recognised that fishes exhibit a rich array of sophisticated behaviour with impressive learning capabilities entirely comparable with those of mammals and other terrestrial animals. In this fascinating book an international team of experts have been brought together to explore all major areas of fish learning, including:foraging skills; predator recognition; social organisation and learning; welfare and pain Fish Cognition and Behaviour is an important contribution to all fish biologists and ethologists and contains much information of commercial importance for fisheries managers and aquaculture personnel. Libraries in universities and research establishments will find it an important addition to their shelves. |
