Hello everyone,
It has been a while since I have posted on this forum. I am currently reading a book on fish behavior. One chapter is on shoaling and individual fish choice regarding the shoal it joins. For example, fish tend to pick shoals with similar sized fish for dilution effect. They also select a larger shoal. Hungry fish behave differently; they pick smaller shoals with smaller fish for less competition. Sepioteuthis sepioidea is my favorite ceph, and I was just curious if anyone knew if they behaved in a similar fashion. I remember reading somewhere that squid (obviously not all squid) are somewhat convergent with ray-finned fish in terms of niche and behavior. Do you agree? Anyone have any good videos displaying this (preferably in S. sepioidea) ?
