Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Although there are a few common patterns of behavior that can often be related to various types of fish, each species has its own specific habits and preferred habitats they use throughout the year. These common and specific patterns can be seen in basic activities, for example, when fish feed, breed, aggregate and rest. Thus, it is important to understand all the processes that are associated with feeding activity, shelter usage and predator avoidance, as well as the environmental drivers affecting it. Having a basic understanding of the behaviors and habitats related to each fish species is essential to understanding the complex marine ecosystem and allows us to protect fish, maintain biodiversity and improve or restore the marine environment.
This Special Issue presents an opportunity to explore this topic in more detail, recruiting papers that discuss marine fish habits in the natural environment and captivity, such as fish ecology, fish biodiversity, fish feeding, breeding and habitats.
