Publisher Marketing: In the past, the majority of work in animal behaviour has concentrated on birds and mammals. However, a growing body of information is now available concerning fish. In 1986 the first edition of this book was published and an ever growing demand, together with the availability of much new information, has prompted the production of this revised, rewritten and updated second edition.
