The Role of Body Surface Area in Quantity Discrimination in Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare)
Although some fish species have been shown to be able to discriminate between two groups (shoals) of conspecifics differing in the number of members, most studies have not controlled for continuous variables that covary with number. Previously, using angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) we started the systematic analysis of the potential influence of such continuous variables, and found that they p...
متن کاملShort-Term Memory Effects on Crossing the Boundary: Discrimination between Large and Small Quantities in Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare)
Rudimentary quantification abilities are found in numerous animal species and in human infants all demonstrating the ability to discriminate between quantities differing in numerical size. An open question is whether individuals rely on different underlying systems to discriminate between large (analogue magnitude system (AMS) for number of items exceeding 3) and small quantities (object-file s...
متن کاملFecundity, growth, and survival of the angelfish Pterophyllum scalare (Perciformes: Cichlidae) under laboratory conditions.
The freshwater angelfishes (Pterophyllum) are South American cichlids that have become very popular among aquarists, yet scarce information on their culture and aquarium husbandry exists. We studied Pterophyllum scalare to analyze dietary effects on fecundity, growth, and survival of eggs and larvae during 135 days. Three diets were used: A) decapsulated cysts of Artemia, B) commercial dry fish...
متن کاملGrowth and reproductive performance by different feed types in fresh water angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare Schultze, 1823)
It is well established that reproduction is sensitive to the state of energy reserves, and that there is a balance between energy homeostasis and fertility. In this view, this study examined the effects of different diets on growth and reproductive performance of fresh water angelfish. Twenty four pairs of angelfish (weighing 3.58 ± 0.24 g) were fed with four types of diets including live earth...
متن کاملThe report of Fibropapilloma in the lips area in a group of freshwater Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) in sari city, Iran
Increasing the rate of neoplasms in industrial societies and its wide variety among ornamental and wild fishes in both fresh and salt waters are important. The effect of carcinogenic factors and the role of virus in tumor formation should be considered. In this study 10 3-month-olds Koi and Marble strains of fresh water Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare), , with cauliflower lesions masses w...
