Why do captive‐reared fishes generally have lower fitness in natural environments than wild
conspecifics, even when the hatchery fishes are derived from wild parents from the local …

Every animal occupies a unique cognitive world based on its sensory capacities, and
attentional and learning biases. Behaviour results from the interaction of this cognitive world …

This chapter provides an overview of the principal aspects of flatfish behaviour during the
benthic stage of their life history. It concentrates on the activities of spawning, feeding and …

Cerebral lateralization has been suggested to convey a selective advantage to individuals
by enhancing their cognitive abilities. Few, however, have explicitly compared the cognitive …

Basic understanding of the fundamental principles and mechanisms involved in learning is
lacking for elasmobranch fishes. Our aim in this study was to experimentally investigate the …

The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that hatchery brown trout Salmo trutta smolts,
with 50% reduced or no feeding over the last 5 months before release, were more likely to …

This paper evaluates the outcome of the first release programme for Acipenser dabryanus
rehabilitation in its natural habitat and focuses specifically on the growth rate of released …

Domestication selection combined with inadvertent selection for high growth rate and large
body size are common in hatchery salmonids. However, evolutionary trade-offs of various …

The performance of juvenile Argyrosomus regius released off the coast of Mallorca Island
(Balearic Islands, Spain) was assessed by comparing the body condition, stable isotope …

The need for hatchery programs to reflect the latest scientific knowledge is critical for
understudied groups with unique ecologies such as Acipenseriform species, including Lake …
