Overview"In the past, the majority of work in animal behaviour has concentrated on birds and mammals. However, a growing body of information is now available concerning fish. In 1986 the first edition of this book was published and an ever growing demand, together with the availability of much new information, has prompted the production of this revised, rewritten and updated second edition. As well as there being an increasing interest in fish biology and fisheries for commercial reasons, fish behaviour is providing interesting data for workers in animal behaviour generally. Although constrained by the same general evolutionary and ecological rules as birds and mammals, the details of teleost behaviour intimately reflect unique and efficient adaptations to their three-dimensional aquatic environment. ""Behaviour of Teleost Fishes"" reviews major topics in the subject, ranging from genetic and motivational inputs to behaviour, through the main sensory modalities, to behavioural ecology and case studies. The book also includes important information relating the behaviour of fish to their commercial exploitation. The book is aimed at those with an interest in animal behaviour, as well as workers in fish biology and fisheries." Full Product DetailsAuthor: T.J.
