Abstract
An electronic device ("Ichthyotron") is described that permits a fish to simultaneously and independently control (behaviorally regulate) two environmental variables by its movements along two axes, among four chambers. Sample data are given for simultaneous behavioral thermoregulation, light intensity preferences, and locomotor activity rhythms in largemouth bass, (Micropterus salmoides) and smallmouth bass (M. dolomieui).This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
