Fish Stories

Fish stories tell us about the unique lives of fish, many of which school, while others exhibit extraordinary behaviours. We learn the techniques for rearing and observing them in aquaria or in the field. The construction of an aquarium is based on the simulation of the functioning of the natural environment, so that it contains a filter, temperature controls and pumps for circulation of water. Basic concepts of three fish are examined in detail, including Discus Fish, Clownfish and Poecilids, which possess special taxonomic and ethological characteristics The reproduction and rearing of the young are unique and fantastic processes.
We continue with descriptions of experiments on schooling behaviour, which demonstrate that behaviour is modified to a significant degree when the fish are reared in atypical environmental conditions. All the topics show how science and practical observations may produce the taste of nature. The book may be followed by a range of persons, from children to professional biologists, because each chapter may be red at a different level of comprehension. We wish you will enjoy the reading.
