This study quantifies the schooling behaviour of a coral reef fish and, in particular, examines
the stimuli that may motivate school formation. The focus of the study was the parrotfish …

This study examines interspecific behavioural encounters amongst an assemblage of coral
reef fishes and their effect upon the relationship hetween physiological colour patterns …

This work represents the modern state of research on schooling behavior in fish, its basic
patterns, and causal mechanisms. We consider the occurrence of schooling in fish, the …

Fish form schools of various sizes, according to species or environmental conditions, to
attain several advantages, such as protection from predators or to improve efficiency in …

Field observations of individuallytagged ocean surgeonfish (Acanthurus bahianus) indicated
that schooling provided a foraging benefit: an increase in relative forging time. The …

Many small pelagic fishes obligately form schools; some of these schools reach remarkable
sizes. Although the school is a fundamental and important ecological unit and is the site of …

Social living of animals is a broadly occurring phenomenon, although poorly studied in
freshwater systems, fish schooling behaviour is an excellent example. The composition of …

Group living is a common strategy used by fishes to improve their fitness. While sociality is
associated with many benefits in natural environments, including predator avoidance, this …

Surgeonfish (Acanthuridae) are prominent, herbivorous members of coral reef communities
that occur as dispersed individuals and small, loose groups ('non-schooling fish') or as …

Aggregations of fish around fish aggregation devices (FADs) have been widely described in
the literature; most commercial catches of tuna by surface fisheries are performed around …
