Tidal and circadian activity rhythms in juvenile plaice, Pleuronectes platessa

Tidal and circadian activity rhythms in juvenile plaice, Pleuronectes platessa 227 22 22 4 4 R. N. Gibson Scottish Marine Biological Association Dunstaffnage Marine Research Laboratory Oban Argyll Scotland Abstract Young plaice ( Pleuronectes platessa L.), caught in the intertidal zone, exhibit a short-lived tidal rhythm when their activity is recorded in darkness in the laboratory. This tidal rhythm rapidly changes to one of circadian frequency both in darkness and in light-dark cycles. It is considered that the basic rhythm is circadian in nature, but that it can be entrained to keep in phase with the tides by some, as yet unknown, Zeitgeber present under tidal conditions. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Marine Biology Springer Journals
