Abstract
The locomotory activity of juvenile flatfish (Solea vulgaris) was studied in actotaxigraphs at constant temperature and under different conditions of illumination. The juveniles were swimming in cylindrical transparent vertical tanks and were detected by infrared barriers. In constant darkness, they exhibited a rhythmic circadian activity which was synchronized by light variations.Keywords
