Blackbream: Feeding Behavior of Black Bream Fish

Description

This data is from an article in Brain, Behavior and Evolution about a study of the feeding behaviour of black bream fish. A zoologists recorded the number of aggressive strikes of two black bream fish feeding at the bottom of an aquarium in the 10-minute period following the addition of food. The data contains the weekly number of strikes and the age of the fish.
