Produktinformationen zu „Fish Locomotion (ePub)“

Fish accomplish most of their basic behaviors by swimming. Swimming is fundamental in a vast majority of fish species for avoiding predation, feeding, finding food, mating, migrating and finding optimal physical environments. Fish exhibit a wide variety of swimming patterns and behaviors. This treatise looks at fish swimming from the behavioral and ecological perspectives rather than from the more traditional biomechanics, ecomorphology and physiological perspectives used in studies of fish swimming. The book is therefore largely integrative by its own nature, and it includes considerations related to fisheries, conservation and evolution. It is aimed at students and researchers interested in fish swimming from any organismal background, be it biomechanics, ecomorphology, physiology, behavior or ecology.

Paolo Domenici has a PhD in Zoology from the University of British Columbia, Canada. He is currently senior researcher at the Institute for Coastal Marine Environment (IAMC) of the Italian National Research Council (CNR) in Oristano, Italy. His research interests focus on the locomotion of aquatic animals, particularly fish. Most of his previous research was on the kinematics of locomotion within the context of predator -prey encounters and their ecological relevance.
