The lateral line is a critical component of the fish sensory system, found to affect numerous aspects of behavior including maneuvering in complex fluid environments, schooling, prey tracking, and environment mapping. This sensory organ has no analog in modern ocean vehicles, despite its utility and ubiquity in nature, and could fill the gap left by sonar and vision systems in turbid cluttered environments. Yet, while the biological sensory system suggests the broad possibilities associated with such a sensor array, nearly nothing is known of the input processing and what information is available via the real lateral line. This thesis demonstrates and characterizes the ability of lateral-line-inspired linear pressure sensor arrays to perform two sensory tasks of relevance to biological and man-made underwater navigation systems, namely shape identification and vortex tracking.The ability of pressure sensor arrays to emulate the "touch at a distance" feature of the lateral line, corresponding to the latter's capability of identifying the shape of objects remotely, is examined with respect to moving cylinders of different cross sections. Using the pressure distribution on a small linear array, the position and size of a cylinder is tracked at various distances. The classification of cylinder shape is considered separately, using a large database of trials to identify two classification approaches: One based on differences in the mean flow, and one trained on a subset which utilizes information from the wake. The results indicate that it is in general possible to extract specific shape information from measurements on a linear pressure sensor array, and characterize the classes of shapes which are not distinguishable via this method.Identifying the vortices in a flow makes it possible to predict and optimize the performance of flapping foils, and to identify imminent stall in a control surface. Vortices in wakes also provide information about the object that generated the wake at distances much larger than the near-field pressure perturbations. Experimental studies in tracking a vortex pair and an individual vortex interacting with a flat plate demonstrate the ability to track vortices with a linear pressure sensor array from both small streamlined bodies and large flat bodies. Based on a theoretical analysis, the relationship between the necessary array parameters and the range of vortices of interest is established.

“…Cette hypothèse, qui s'appuie sur des résultats obtenus sur le saumon par SATOU et al (1991), a été testée au moyen de leurres de formes et de couleurs différentes (plaques rectangulaires en polycarbonates ou moulages de barbeaux en résine polyester), présentés en mouvement, aux poissons (LELEU, 1993). Les mâles Barbus barbus ou Barbus meridionalis réagissent positivement au leurre allant juqu'à s'en approcher et se placer parallèlement à celui-ci (photo I).…”

Cet article synthétise les résultats de 4 années d'étude du comportement de reproduction et de l'hybridation chez Barbus barbus (L., 1758) et Barbus meridionalis (Risso, 1826) en aquarium.On y aborde successivement la description des parades sexuelles, la mise en évidence du comportement d'hybridation, l'étude des rythmes biologiques nycthéméraux et l'influence des stimuli visuels sur les comportements sexuels. Mots-clés : comportement reproducteur, Barbus barbus, Barbusmeridionalis, hybridation, rythmes biologiques. FOUR YEARS RESEARCH ON THE REPRODUCTIVE BEHAVIOUR AND HYBRIDIZATION OF BARBUS BARBUS AND BARBUS MERIDIONALIS. ABSTRACTThis paper reviews the main results of 4 years studies on the reproductive behaviour of Barbus barbus (L., 1758) and Barbus meridionalis (Risso, 1826) under controlled conditions in aquarium. The reproductive behaviour is described as well as the behavioural mechanisms of hybridization. During the spawning act -sometimes preceded by «forehead swim» in which two fish swim together, at high speed, head against headthe female and the few accompanying males rise from the gravel and move their genital papilla in the gravel while releasing ova or sperm ( fig. 1 and 2). The reproductive behaviours of Barbus barbus and Barbus meridionalis appear to be similar and hybridizations were observed, showing that no complete behavioural barrier blocks the mating of the two species ( fig. 2). The daily rhythms of activity are compared within the two species. The influence of temperature and daylength on the daily rhythms of activity is discussed. In winter conditions, barbels exhibit a night activity rhythm. Spawning occurs during daytime or during the night (fig. 3). The influence of spawning stimuli is analysed using dummies of different sizes and colors (photo I). Barbels seem to prefer white, grey, yellow and brown colors to red or black colors.

“…This vibrational communication has been studied in only the hime (landlocked) salmon Oncorhynchus nerka (Satou et al, 1991(Satou et al, , 1987(Satou et al, , 1994 and the Amarillo fish Girardinichthys multiradiatus (Medina et al, 2013), and these studies suggest that the detection of hydrodynamic signals emitted from the vibrating fish elicits a behavioral response from the receiver. In the hime salmon, female body vibrations signal they are ready to spawn (Satou et al, 1991). These mechanosensory signals alone are sufficient to elicit male reproductive behaviors, as males exposed to a vibrating sphere will release sperm.…”

“…Past research on the lateral line system has focused on its involvement in obstacle avoidance (Baker and Montgomery, 1999;Kulpa et al, 2015;Montgomery et al, 1997;Windsor, 2014) and detection of inadvertent water movements generated by other fish [e.g. during schooling (Pitcher et al, 1976) and predator-prey interactions (Coombs and Patton, 2009;Schwalbe et al, 2012Schwalbe et al, , 2016], but there are only a few studies that examine the possibility that fish purposefully generate mechanosensory signals as a form of communication Maruska, 2015, 2016;Medina et al, 2013;Satou et al, 1991Satou et al, , 1994. The aim of this Commentary is to inspire future research to address the role of hydrodynamic signals as a potential form of communication during social interactions.…”

Signals produced during social interactions convey crucial information about the sender's identity, quality, reproductive state and social status. Fishes can detect near-body water movements via the mechanosensory lateral line system, and this sense is used during several common fish behaviors, such as schooling, rheotaxis and predator-prey interactions. In addition, many fish behaviors, such as aggressive lateral displays and reproductive body quivers, involve fin and body motions that generate water movements that can be detected by the lateral line system of nearby fish. This mechanosensory system is well studied for its role in obstacle avoidance and detection of inadvertent hydrodynamic cues generated during schooling and predator-prey interactions; however, little research has focused on the role of mechanosensory communication during social interactions. Here, we summarize the current literature on the use of mechanosensation-mediated behaviors during agonistic and reproductive encounters, as well as during parental care. Based on these studies, we hypothesize that mechanosensory signaling is an important but often overlooked mode of communication during conspecific social interactions in many fish species, and we highlight its importance during multimodal communication. Finally, we suggest potential avenues of future research that would allow us to better understand the role of mechanosensation in fish communication.
