How fish communicate with other fishes?

Answer 1

Senses play an important part in fish communication. Visual communication is important to most fish. Body movements, postures, colors and color patterns are the primary means of visual communication. Sound is also used for communication. Sounds are produced by grinding teeth, flexing or contracting muscles and vibrating the swim bladder. Fish also communicate by releasing chemicals called PHEROMONES. These are chemical signals produced by an animal that, when released, influence the behavior of others of the same species. The sense of smell is important for this form of communication. But fish do not have a language so Finding Nemo can be misleading.

Answer 2

Using sonic vibrations pulsating through the water they are able to communicate complex ideas such as anger or sadness. Some have even been known to locate each other through magnetic fields across vast aquatic distances.

Answer 3

yes they do, but baby goldfish can't. goldfish can only talk to other goldfish because i know this is weird but other fish or shark,dolfin have there own way of talking.If your lucky if your fish is opening its moth again and again it probley means its communicateing!.Fish have got really small brains and can not communicate. if you have a small goldfish or a young one its not going to communicate unless you teach it ha no chance!

Answer 4

Different types of fish use different methods of communication. Carp and their close relatives use pheremones - hormone chemicals that act outside the body. All the cells of the fish produce pheromones and, as the fish matures, it learns to detect these signals and respond to them.

For example, when a carp is injured, it releases large amounts of pheromones into the water around it, as a result of trauma and stress. The chemical signals are detected by other fish of the same species and they interpret this as a signal of extreme danger and they swim away from the signal as fast as they can.

Other fish produce sounds but this may be more for display than communication. The satinfin shiner, a North American Minnow produces a high pitched purr by releasing bubbles from its swim bladder. Males also produce a sharp knocking sound when they fight. Females partnered to the males can recognise the sounds made by their own mates.

Answer 5

Fish can hear you talking - in a sense. Fish have small bodies (as you know) and thus can feel vibrations.

Think about it: If a giant was next to you and speaks, you would feel the vibrations coming from him.

Answer 6

They don't actually talk to each other the way humans do, but they use actions and certain types of performances to communicate with one another.

For example, when fish lock jaws, they are telling each other that they want to test their opponent's strength before they fight.

When certain males want to breed with certain females, they will go up to the females and nudge them or show off their bright colors.

Every animal has a way to communicate with those of its kind, and fish are certainly no exception. They are far more intelligent than they are given credit for, and they are able to communicate quite well with body language. This would be a great topic to ask some specialists at your local Petco or Petsmart, and it definitely would be answered if you searched it onto Google, Yahoo, Bing, or whatever other search engine you normally use.
