Abstract
Perception of Motion in Fish
Y. Tanaka
The effects of speed and size of the stimuli on pursuing responses in fish is analysed. When the speed of stimuli is high, the amount of pursuing responses is an increasing function of the size of stimuli. When the speed is low, the amount of pursuing responses is a decreasing function of the size of the stimuli. Several hypotheses are proposed for the explanation of the phenomena. Experiments for the test of the hypotheses were performed.
