When people think of animals learning, they are unlikely to think of fishes as the main examples, yet the learning capabilities of fish are impressive, and entirely comparable with those of mammals and other terrestrial animals. Learning in Fishes is a timely new book that covers all major aspects of this subject, of great importance not only to animal behaviorists, but also to fish farm managers and fisheries scientists who aim to run commercially successful businesses. . Learning in Fishes has been written by a worldwide team of experts, covering such important aspects as learning of foraging skills (important in understanding how fish feed in captivity), predator recognition by fish, learning in fish orientation, social organisation, cooperation, tool and substrate use, nest building, mate choice, social learning and welfare and pain.
