| With more than 29,600 species, fishes are common in quite all aquatic environments. They show metabolic, morphologic but also behavioural adpatation, that make them impassioning to study. Using works of Liege researchers, we try to give an overview of main evolutionary behaviours :
- food
- protection
- reproduction
- communication
