Sound Communication and Interception in Fishes

  • Conference paper
Hearing and Sound Communication in Fishes

Part of the book series: Proceedings in Life Sciences ((LIFE SCIENCES))

Abstract

A most intriguing aspect of social behavior is that eventually the topic of communication must be addressed. This is understandable because specific acts performed by one individual often alter the likelihood that specific acts will be performed by another. An appropriate question then arises: Did such a performance involve communication? Here, the thoughtful worker often encounters a most elusive concept since “communication” means quite different things to different people.
