2020, Applied Animal Behaviour ScienceCitation Excerpt :There is also a reduction in aggressiveness in some social species, with large groups having few dominant fish capable of suppressing the subordinate’s aggressive tendencies (Sakakura and Tsukamoto, 1998). In shoal species, the housing of larger groups can lead to an increase in foraging activity (Day et al., 2001; Magurran and Pitcher, 1983; Morgan and Colgan, 1987). Because in the wild larger groups have lower individual predation risk (Roberts, 1996), it is plausible that captive fish raised in larger groups will have a larger sense of security allowing them to devote more time to foraging activities (Milinski, 1993).
