Partner preferences in by-product mutualisms and the case of predator inspection in fish
Article Abstract:
By-product mutualism, where individuals differ in their ability to provide and use by-product benefits, reveals the existence of partner preferences in fish. Partner preferences in by-product mutualism contributes towards cooperative predator inspection. Difference among individuals either in shoaling or inspecting responses is a prerequisite for partner preferences. The by-product mutualism model demands that one individual should recognize the characteristics of the other. Partner preferences in joint predator inspection is not necessarily governed by a Tit for Tat hypothesis.

The effects of food, predation risk and endogenous rhythmicity on the behaviour of juvenile plaice, Pleuronectes platessa L
Article Abstract:
The behavior of juvenile plaice in the presence of prey and predators shows two basic traits. Behavior in non-prey and non-predator situations is influenced by tidal movement, among other things, but in the presence of prey or a predator, tidal movement becomes less of a factor. The presence of a predator reduced most aspects of normal migration behavior and drastically reduced the feeding success of the fish.

Signal detection theory, lateral-line excitation patterns and prey capture behaviour of mottled sculpin
Article Abstract:
A new study measures the frequency with which blinded mottled sculpin located a dipole current source placed at a distance of between 2 cm and 18 cm and an azimuth of 0 deg in front or 90 deg to the side of the fish. An increase in source distance resulted in a decline in orientating frequency from more than 70% to under 50%. Further details of the prey capture behaviour of mottled sculpin is presented.
