Fish Behaviour
Fish behaviour is the science which studies the way in which fish interact with their environment. It studies the ways in which fish respond to external stimuli, including physical, chemical and biological stimuli, in order to find food, avoid predators, spawn and defend territories. The behaviour of fish can also be affected by a range of environmental factors such as temperature, predation pressure, and light intensity. By understanding fish behaviour, scientists can gain insights into their biology, ecology and evolutionary history, as well as guide conservation and fisheries management efforts. Fish behaviour also has practical applications, such as aiding aquaculture production and developing techniques for recreational fishing.
