Fish Cognition and Behavior: (20 Fish and Aquatic Resources)

In the second edition of 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 Three new chapters covering fish personality, lateralisation, and fish cognition and fish welfare, have been added to this fully revised and expanded second edition. Fish Cognition and Behavior, Second Edition contains essential information for all fish biologists and animal behaviorists and contains much new information of commercial importance for fisheries managers and aquaculture personnel. Libraries in all universities and research establishments where biological sciences, fisheries and aquaculture are studied and taught will find it an important addition to their shelves.
