Brief description Catch me if you can: predator recognition and anti-predator behaviour in marine fishes. Increased understanding of the interactions between prey and their predators that have shaped the fish communities that inhabit today's coral reefs will aid in predicting how they will respond to future perturbations such as increased fishing pressure, range shifts caused by climate change, or species introductions. This will provide national economic benefits by increasing our ability to manage coral reefs, such as the Great Barrier Reef, a World Heritage Site of great economic importance for fisheries and ecotourism.
