“…Fish displacement experiment. In this study, we considered 'homing' as 'any movement taken to reach a spatially restricted area which is known to an animal' (Papi 1992). To test whether the proportion of fish that returned from each distance was greater than could be expected if fish swam in a random direction from the point of release, we modelled expected percentages of returns (Fig.…”

We conducted a displacement experiment to determine the influence of sensory cues on homing of pelagic fish to fish aggregation devices (FADs). If pelagic fish use chemical cues to home to a FAD, and cues such as odours from fouling organisms and fish associated with the FAD only occur down-current, we hypothesised that fish released down-current from a FAD would return in higher proportions than fish released across-current. Coryphaena hippurus (n = 161) and Seriola lalandi (n = 31) were caught from January to

“…Magneto-reception is believed to be important for long-distance navigation by both terrestrial and marine animals (Papi, 1992), and may be used by large tunas to detect moored FADs (Holland et al, 1990). Yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) possess possible magnetic sense organs (cranial biogenic magnetite; Walker et al, 1984), and their ability to discriminate between magnetic fields of differing intensities has been determined in tank experiments (Walker, 1984).…”

“…This type of orientation has most often been defined as piloting (Griffin, 1952), but some confusion has arisen as to exactly what mechanism is used in piloting (Able, 2000). The key point though is that this type of orientation does not require a compass (Papi, 1992). Being independent of the map and compass system, piloting would be valuable if the compass was providing inaccurate information or was unavailable.…”

The role of visual landmarks in the avian familiar area map

The question of whether homing pigeons use visual landmarks for orientation from distant, familiar sites is an unresolved issue in the field of avian navigation. Where evidence has been found, the question still remains as to whether the landmarks are used independent of the map and compass mechanism for orientation that is so important to birds. Recent research has challenged the extent to which experiments that do not directly manipulate the visual sense can be used as evidence for compass-independent orientation. However, it is proposed that extending a new technique for research on vision in homing to include manipulation of the compasses used by birds might be able to resolve this issue. The effect of the structure of the visual sense of the homing pigeon on its use of visual landmarks is also considered.
