Visual analysis of complex fish habitats is an important step towards sustainable fisheries for human consumption and environmental protection. Deep Learning methods have shown great promise for scene analysis when trained on large-scale datasets. Ho...
Remora suckerfish can attach to a wide diversity of marine hosts, however, their detachment mechanism remains poorly understood. Through analyzing high-speed videos, we found that the detachment of the live remora (Echeneis naucrates) is a rapid beha...
Ammonia can be produced by the respiration and excretion of fish during the farming process, which can affect the life of fish. In this paper, to research the behavior of fish under different ammonia concentration and make the corresponding judgment ...

Realistic, everyday rewards contain multiple components. An apple has taste and size. However, we choose in single dimensions, simply preferring some apples to others. How can such single-dimensional preference relationships refer to multicomponent c...
Automated monitoring of the movements and behaviour of animals is a valuable research tool. Recently, machine learning tools were applied to many species to classify units of behaviour. For the monitoring of wild species, collecting enough data for t...
The aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) is best known for its unique acoustic-based foraging behavior called 'tap-scanning' or 'percussive foraging'. The tap-scanning is a unique behavior allowing aye-aye to locate small cavities beneath tree bark...
We observe that the Atlantic razor clam (Ensis directus) burrows out of sand rapidly by simply extending and contracting its muscular foot. This is notably different from its well-known downward burrowing strategy or the dual-anchor mechanism, where ...
Here, we describe a system capable of tracking specific mouse paw movements at high frame rates (70.17 Hz) with a high level of accuracy (mean=0.95, SD<0.01). Short-latency markerless tracking of specific body parts opens up the possibility of manipu...
Hallucinogens induce the head-twitch response (HTR), a rapid reciprocal head movement, in mice. Although head twitches are usually identified by direct observation, they can also be assessed using a head-mounted magnet and a magnetometer. Procedures ...
The objective of this study is to integrate biomimetic robots into small groups of zebrafish and to modulate their collective behaviours. A possible approach is to have the robots behave like sheepdogs. In this case, the robots would behave like a di...
