Abstract
The kinetic behavior of a laboratory population of bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) under defined laboratory conditions is shown to be analogous to the reaction kinetics described by a population of molecules engaged in an opposed (reversible) first‐order reaction. Thus as in chemical kinetics, the locomotor activity of fish can be described quantitatively in the form of rate constants.Keywords
