BackgroundThe Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is the second most farmed fish species worldwide. It is also an important model for studies of fish physiology, particularly because of its broad tolerance to an array of environments. It is a good model

A novel apparatus for studying fish cognition in the wild
Abstract Fish show a huge variation of ecological, anatomical and behavioural traits, which makes them prime subjects for studying behaviour, cognition and their evolution. Lab‐based studies allow a controlled examination of some of the mechanisms underpinning cognition and have yielded many insights into fish cognitive abilities.

Non‐Lethally Produced Chemical Risk Cues Elicit Antipredator Responses in a Common Canadian Minnow
ABSTRACT Predation risk exerts significant pressure on the survival of prey species and has many indirect impacts on their habitat use, energy allocation, and community dynamics. Prey must consistently assess their surroundings by using multiple information sources to monitor predation risk and respond accordingly.
