Funded Activity Summary

Ontogeny of Behaviour and Sensory Abilities in Larvae of Marine Fishes. This project examines development of swimming performance, other behaviours and sensory abilities relevant to dispersal in larvae of a variety of marine fish species. Both laboratory and field methods will provide an overview of larval behaviour and sensory abilities throughout ontogeny. The extent to which morphological development explains these developmental differences in behaviour and sensory ability will be examined in reared and wild individuals. This will provide direct evidence of when during the larval phase that fishes are able to actively modify dispersal patterns. This is important information for management of marine living resources and design of marine reserves.
