Pheromones are chemicals that pass between members of the same species which have inherent meaning. Because most fish pheromones are mixtures, and their actions can be complex, behavioral assays are required to identify them. This chapter describes a few strategies and two specific methods (one for measuring attraction and another for sexual arousal) that can serve this purpose in fishes that live in nonflowing water such as the carps.
信息素是同一物种成员之间传递的具有内在意义的化学物质。由于大多数鱼类信息素是混合物,且其作用可能很复杂,因此需要行为分析来识别它们。本章描述了一些策略和两种具体方法(一种用于测量吸引力,另一种用于测量性唤起),这些方法可用于生活在静水(如鲤鱼)中的鱼类。
