Over het archief

Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.

Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

Abstract

The level of importance of learning in the survival of an animal is related to its evolutionary status, environmental demands, and developmental stage. This paper examines the role of learning in predator avoidance of Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus juveniles. We conditioned flounder juveniles to predation using two different methods: (1) direct exposure to a predator, and (2) allowing juveniles to observe predatory attacks on conspecifics. Predator avoidance performance and feeding behaviour were then compared among predator-exposed, predator-observed and naive individuals. Both predator-exposed and predator-observed fish were better at avoiding a predator than were naive fish when they encountered a predator 6 h after the initial exposure. Although this effect was not significant 24 or 30 h after exposure, reaction distance to a predator was longest in predator-exposed and shortest in naive fish 6, 24 and 30 h after exposure. When fed pellets, predator-exposed and predator-observed fish showed less off-bottom feeding behaviour and their heights of swimming were lower than those of naive fish. We conclude that flounder juveniles are capable of predator conditioning both through direct and observational learning processes.
