Special Issue: Fish Movement - Molecules, Models and Migration

In the past, it was thought that movement patterns of fishes were quite simple. However, recent studies have shown that actual fish behavior is much more complex, with a variety of flexible patterns depending on internal and external conditions. In addition to the meticulous observations and experiments of scientists, recent developments in bio-logging techniques have contributed to our knowledge. These studies will not only help us understand the biology of fishes, but also provide suggestions for adaptation and conservation to climate change and global warming, which are currently major concerns.

Editors

  • Peter Klimley

    Dr. A. Peter Klimley has studied animal behavior for over four decades. He received a MS in oceanography from the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science at the University of Miami, Florida, and a PhD in marine biology from Scripps Institution of Oceanography of the University of California, San Diego. He has just retired from the positions of Director of the Biotelemetry Laboratory and Adjunct Professor in the Department of Wildlife, Fish, and Conservation Biology at the University of California, Davis, where he served as mentor of many graduate students in Animal Behavior, Ecology, and Geography Graduate Groups.

  • Karen Cogliati

    Dr. Karen Cogliati received a MSc in Biological Sciences from the University of Windsor and a PhD in Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour from McMaster University. After her graduate work, she was a Research Associate in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife at Oregon State University focusing on altering hatchery conditions to produce juvenile salmon with more wild-like characteristics, spanning basic and applied research in the fields of life history evolution, behavior, genetics, physiology, and morphology. Since 2019, she has been working as a science advisor for fisheries with Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

  • Mari Kuroki

    Dr. Mari Kuroki studies the life history and evolution of migratory fishes. She specializes in early life history, migratory diversity, and conservation of eels. She also focuses on ocean science education and has published many books such as "Eels on the Move" and "Eels and Humans," and created picture books for children, educational web contents, and academic exhibitions. She is currently an Associate Professor at the University of Tokyo, Japan.

  • David Noakes

    Dr. David Noakes, Editor-in-Chief of Environ Biol Fish and Editor for the series Fish & Fisheries at the time of his death in December 2021, was a specialist in fish ecology, behavior, and fish and wildlife conservation and management. He earned an MSc at the Univ of Western Ontario and a PhD from the Univ. of California, Berkley. He was a professor at the Univ. of Guelph, before moving to Oregon State University. He helped plan this special issue on “Fish Movement: Molecules, Models and Migration”.
