This paper reports on Luidia senegalensis being followed by Diplectrum formosum and D. radiale in shallow soft bottoms of southeastern Brazilian coast, and comments on this association between bottom-dwelling organisms and serranids. Following is likely due to the serranid's inquisitive behaviour, and both juvenile and adult sea basses acted as followers, feeding on disturbed or exposed prey due to sea star activities.
本文报道了在巴西东南海岸浅软底质区域,塞内加尔刘氏海星(Luidia senegalensis)被台湾双鳍鲷(Diplectrum formosum)和辐射双鳍鲷(D. radiale)跟随,并对这种底栖生物与锯盖鱼科鱼类之间的关联进行了评论。这种跟随行为可能是由于锯盖鱼科鱼类好奇的习性,幼年和成年海鲈都表现出跟随行为,以海星活动所扰动或暴露的猎物为食。
