An underwater exploration that overturns myths about fishes and reveals their complex lives, from tool use to social behavior
There are more than thirty thousand species of fish--more than all mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians combined. But for all their breathtaking diversity and beauty, we rarely consider how fish think, feel, and behave. In What a Fish Knows, the ethologist Jonathan Balcombe takes us under the sea and to the other side of the aquarium glass to reveal what fishes can do, how they do it, and why. Introducing the latest revelations in animal behavior and biology, Balcombe upends our assumptions about fish, exposing them not as unfeeling, dead-eyed creatures but as sentient, aware, social--even Machiavellian. They conduct elaborate courtship rituals and develop lifelong bonds with shoal-mates. They also plan, hunt cooperatively, use tools, punish wrongdoers, curry favor, and deceive one another. Fish possess sophisticated senses that rival our own. The reef-dwelling damselfish identifies its brethren by face patterns visible only in ultraviolet light, and some species communicate among themselves in murky waters using electric signals. Highlighting these breakthrough discoveries and others from his own encounters with fish, Balcombe inspires a more enlightened appraisal of marine life.
An illuminating journey into the world of underwater science, What a Fish Knows will forever change your view of our aquatic cousins--your pet goldfish included.
Jonathan Balcombe is the director of animal sentience at the Humane Society Institute for Science and Policy and the author of four books, including Second Nature and Pleasurable Kingdom. A popular radio guest, he has also appeared on the National Geographic Channel and in several documentaries, and he is a frequent contributor of features and opinions to The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal,Nature, and more.
对于这种pop science读物来讲,信息量还挺大。就是作者的PETA腔太可怕,分分钟要把鱼描绘成人类 -- 人类很好吗?像人类我们才能少点屠杀吗?如果没有这可怕的腔调大概可以是4星的。
评分因为作者实在太执着于解释悲壮的海洋伦理学,又加上读得太慢,一度想打3星。然鹅最后两章讲的sex life和parenting真是大开眼界,附录配图直接挽回了5星!(为何丝毫不提河鱼,人家不是fishie么?你再如何劝说,然鹅我还是爱吃????????

《鱼什么都知道》 鱼不止有7秒的记忆 巴尔科姆博士的这本书既包括深度研究,又有趣闻轶事;它深深地印证了我们这些轻潜水员和接触鱼类的人早已熟知的事情:鱼是有意识、有感觉的生物,它们的意识和感觉一点也不少于陆地上的生物。它们保护自己的巢穴,忠诚于伴侣,认识自己部落...
评分鱼的记忆只有7秒——这可能是世界上流传最广、骗人最多的谣言之一了。如果我告诉你,鱼的记忆不仅好到令人惊叹,而且它还是一种高智商生物,比猴都精,那估计你打死都不相信。鱼不就是一种好吃的冷血生物么。 我们都严重地低估了鱼的神奇之处,对它的误解不是一般的多。提到鱼...
评分????作为睡前读物,在床头上放了一个月。 ????有些问题是我从未思考过的,对鱼的认识也只是停留在小时候看过的动物世界。 ????这本书带我了解了鱼类的世界,从此鱼给我留下的印象不再是冷冰冰,没有感情。 ????作者有两个观点让我醍醐灌顶: 1️⃣脑容量、体形大小、在演化...
评分本文作者:喵鱼酱 (微博@喵鱼酱-再努力一些 / 知乎@喵鱼酱) 我们或多或少听说过海豚的聪明,是的,它们的确很聪明。那么同样生活在水里的鱼类呢?它们没有眼睑,看起来目光呆滞,情绪从无波澜,只有在小嘴微张的时候才显得一脸惊愕。它们似乎没有记忆,也没有思维能力,在水...
