The
Mind of the Trout
A
Cognitive Ecology for Biologists and Anglers
Thomas
C. Grubb, Jr.
For cognitive ecologists, fish biologists,
animal behaviorists, and inquiring anglers
How and why do trout think? How
do they decide where to eat and which food to eat? Why do they
refuse to behave as predicted, stumping anglers by rejecting
a larger fly for a smaller one or not responding at all to anything
in an angler's box? How do trout know to bolt to one particular
covered area after being hooked or flushed? Why can trout smell
better than humans but not remember as well? Citing the most
recent scientific findings in a readily understandable form,
Thomas C. Grubb, Jr. addresses these questions and more in The
Mind of the Trout . It is the first book to bring together
many varied concepts of cognitive ecology as applied to trout
and their salmonid relatives: char, salmon, grayling, and whitefish.
"A comprehensive,
well-organized review of current research and a valuable reference.
It could serve as a text for a fish behavior course."—Robert
Behnke, author of Trout and Salmon in North America
Thomas C. Grubb, Jr., is professor in the Department
of Evolution, Ecology and Organismal Biology at the Ohio State
University.
