Fish that live in shallow, clear waters often see well in color, while other fish may see contrasts in low-light conditions. Green, W. W. and Zielinski B. S. (2013) "Chemoreception" In: D H Evans, J B Claiborne and S Currie (Eds) The Physiology of Fishes, 4th edition, pp.345–373, CRC Press. ISBN 9781439880302. But fish use sense for more than just finding food. Fish can rely on one or more sensory cues and different sensory mechanisms to gain information about their environment and guide their behavior. Senses are engaged whether the fish is moving toward a sound, away from a threat, or following a scent of food or pheromones. For example, young glass eels ( Anguilla spp.) return to estuaries and detect currents using their magnetic compass to memorize magnetic direction of tidal flows (Cresci et al. 2019). As you learn more about the sensory capabilities of fish, you will be better able to understand their behavior. 3.2 Characteristics of the Water Shape Sensory Capabilities

Three types of neurons are required to transmit information via the stimulus-response pathway: (1) sensory neurons transmit information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system (CNS); (2) relay neurons (interneurons) transmit information within the CNS as part of the decision-making process; and (3) motor neurons transmit information from the CNS to effectors (muscles or glands), to initiate a response.

The study of fishes, the science of ichthyology, is of broad importance. Fishes are of interest to humans for many reasons, the most important being their relationship with and dependence on the environment. A more obvious reason for interest in fishes is their role as a moderate but important part of the world’s food supply. This resource, once thought unlimited, is now realized to be finite and in delicate balance with the biological, chemical, and physical factors of the aquatic environment. Overfishing, pollution, and alteration of the environment are the chief enemies of proper fisheries management, both in fresh waters and in the ocean. (For a detailed discussion of the technology and economics of fisheries, see commercial fishing.) Another practical reason for studying fishes is their use in disease control. As predators on mosquito larvae, they help curb malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases.Shupak A. Sharoni Z. Yanir Y. Keynan Y. Alfie Y. Halpern P. (January 2005).

Horodysky, previously Associate Professor at Hampton University, is Research Fish Biologist at NOAA’s Northeast Fisheries Science Center. He is a broadly trained organismal fisheries ecologist with research interests centered on the ecophysiology, behavior, and conservation biology of commercially and recreationally important estuarine, coastal, and pelagic marine fish. His research investigations use comparative interdisciplinary approaches that integrate field, laboratory, and specimen-based techniques with tools ranging in scale from microscopes to satellites.

Different fish to choose from, all with varying contrasting colors, you can also choose multiple fish types to play with at the same time. Now including seahorses and turtles! Imagine, if you will, a day in the life of a fish. Without eyelids, their eyes are open all the time. Daily cycles of light intensity are sensed by photoreceptors in the eye and pineal organ in the brain, which contains light-sensitive nerve endings. Vision is a dominant sense of fish that we humans can appreciate. Whether the fish finds a meal or becomes prey depends on many senses, such as the abilities to see, hear, smell, taste, and to detect water movement and electrical fields. Fish have a special sense that humans do not have: the ability to detect vibrations moving through water. Because sound vibrations move easily through water, fish do not need external ear openings, and yet they also have sensitive hearing. Consider your favorite fishing target and their preferred habitat. How do you expect that the ability to hear (near and far) and vision influence your preferred choice of fishing lure or bait? Kirby, Alex (30 April 2003). "Fish do feel pain, scientists say". BBC News . Retrieved 4 January 2010. Most fish possess highly developed sense organs. Nearly all daylight fish have color vision that is at least as good as a human's (see vision in fish). Many fish also have chemoreceptors that are responsible for extraordinary senses of taste and smell. Although they have ears, many fish may not hear very well. Most fish have sensitive receptors that form the lateral line system, which detects gentle currents and vibrations, and senses the motion of nearby fish and prey. [1] Sharks can sense frequencies in the range of 25 to 50 Hz through their lateral line.
