Behavioural and physiological adaptations of the bearded goby, a key fish species of the extreme environment of the northern Benguela upwelling
Salvanes, Anne Gro Vea; Utne-Palm, Anne Christine; Currie, Bronwen; Braithwaite, Victoria A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-03-14)Nutrient-rich, upwelling marine areas with high productivity often produce sediments dominated by organic-rich mud. Here, intense decay processes create hypoxic conditions with high concentrations of hydrogen sulphide and ... -
Cognition: Learning and Memory
Braithwaite, Victoria A.; Salvanes, Anne Gro Vea (Chapter, 2008) -
Effects of habitat enrichment and food availability on the foraging behaviour of juvenile Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua L)
Moberg, Olav; Braithwaite, Victoria A.; Jensen, Knut Helge; Salvanes, Anne Gro Vea (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-04-13)The environment can play an important role in shaping how an animal behaves, and how well the animal performs in a particular environment can be influenced by early experiences. The tradition of releasing captive-reared ... -
Enrichment promotes learning in fish
Strand, David A.; Utne-Palm, Anne Christine; Jakobsen, Per Johan; Braithwaite, Victoria A.; Jensen, Knut Helge; Salvanes, Anne Gro Vea (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-08-18)Captive birds and mammals reared in enriched rearing environments have been shown to behave more flexibly compared to animals reared in impoverished or plain environments. Recent evidence has shown that this is also true ... -
Environmental variability in the early rearing environment generates behaviourally flexible cod: implications for rehabilitating wild populations
Braithwaite, Victoria A.; Salvanes, Anne Gro Vea (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2005-06-02)The release of hatchery-reared fishes for restoring threatened and endangered populations is one of the most controversial issues in applied ecology. A central issue has been to determine whether releases cause extinction ...
