Özet

A previously unreported burrowing behaviour of the Red Sea migrant fish Torquigener flavimaculosus was observed for the first time in the Mediterranean Sea (Fethiye Bay, Turkey). The burrowing response, preceded by an escape swimming, is explained as an anti-predator adaptation by the species. It left only the eyes and a portion of the back exposed. © 2005 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
