Linking patch-use behavior, resource density, and growth expectations in fish.
Optimality theory rests on the assumptions that short-term foraging decisions are driven by variation in environmental quality, and that these decisions have important implications for long-term fitness. These assumptions, however, are rarely tested in a field setting. We linked behavioral foraging decisions in food patches with measures of environmental quality covering larger spatial (resourc...
متن کاملAcoustical monitoring of fish density, behavior, and growth rate in a tank
A challenge for the aquaculture community has long been the development of harmless techniques for monitoring fish in a tank. Acoustic telemetry has been used to monitor fish swimming behavior, and passive acoustics have been used to monitor fish feeding, but new techniques are needed to monitor non-invasively their numbers and growth rates. Recently, it has been demonstrated that the acoustica...
متن کاملPatch Size and Population Density: the Effect of Immigration Behavior
Many habitat fragmentation experiments make the prediction that animal population density will be positively related to fragment, or patch, size. The mechanism that is supposed to result in this prediction is unclear, but several recent reviews have demonstrated that population density often is negatively related to patch size. Immigration behavior is likely to have an important effect on popul...
متن کاملGrowth hormone, functions and the ability to use it in ornamental fish
The growth hormone in fish is involved in most of the physiological processes in the body, including the growth of soft and hard tissues, protein metabolism, lipid and carbohydrate, ionic regulation and osmotic balance, reproductive function, and immune system. Since the study on the use of growth hormone in ornamental fish is not available, the present study aims to regulate neuroendocrine gro...
متن کاملLinking Hydroclimate to Fish Phenology and Habitat Use with Ichthyographs
Streamflow and water temperature (hydroclimate) influence the life histories of aquatic biota. The relationship between streamflow and temperature varies with climate, hydrogeomorphic setting, and season. Life histories of native fishes reflect, in part, their adaptation to regional hydroclimate (flow and water temperature), local habitats, and natural disturbance regimes, all of which may be a...
