Cognitive, Sensory, and Behavioral Frontiers Exploring Fish Movement and Habitat Use

Cognitive ecology explores information processing and decision making in animals. Sensory ecology explores how animals obtain information about environmental patterns. This enterprising and wide-ranging symposium will explore these and other fields (e.g., neurobiology) offering a process-based view of fish behavior at lab and/or field scales. The symposium will also explore how knowledge from these may be integrated into environmental models (hydraulic, GIS, and water quality) to better understand how water resource management impacts fisheries movement, habitat selection, survival, and population abundance.
