When it comes to fishes, most likely, the first thing that comes to our mind is that they are edible and delicious. Or it may remind you of the various fishes you have seen in the aquarium. If you happen to grow up by the riverside or seaside, you may have fishing experience. Another impression might be of a fishing boat on TV, and the farms in the lake and by the sea.
In terms of zoological classification, most fishes are ectotherm, or what we often call “cold-blooded animals.” This gives the impression that fishes are primitive. According to the theory of evolution, unlike amphibians and terrestrial animals, fishes didn’t evolve to live on dry land and remained in the water, which makes them seem like a more ancient organism. Besides, they have small brains, no expression on their faces, and their eyes are always wide open. It is easy for people to assume that fishes are stupid.
But today’s bookey, What a Fish Knows, will completely overturn our ideas about fish and show you the fascinating life of fishes in water.
The author Jonathan Balcombe interspersed scientific knowledge with the stories between humans and fish, showing people the unknown side of fish. This is entirely different from the practical value of fish in human eyes, for example, as food, or ornamental objects. The author opposes that fish are only exploited as resources like wheat and soybeans -- they are living, thoughtful individuals.
From the perspective of multiple disciplines, animal ethology, biosociology, neurobiology and ecology, the author uses vivid and interesting examples and detailed data, which gives us a better understanding on the world of fishes: how they think, feel, and adapt to the external environment. He hopes that with this book, humans will be able to re-examine their relationship with fish.
