几乎不可能准确地预测未来25年水生生态学和水生行为的研究。然而，通过确定这些领域是当前学科的前沿，有可能猜测未来十年最有可能的研究发展。从我个人的偏见来看，在不久的将来最有可能产生成果的研究项目是行为生态学，它研究的是生态背景下动物的决策。我关注的是动物必须在相互冲突的目标下做出决定的情况，例如，同时最大化净能量摄入，同时最小化被捕食的风险。关于孔雀鱼（Poecilia reticulata）的新数据被提出，最近的文献被回顾，以支持动物在这种情况下的行为是为了最大限度地适应的概念。生境选择、个体发生的生境转移以及垂直迁移和下游漂移现象在本属中开始被考虑。
It is virtually impossible to predict the next 25 years of research in aquatic ecology and behaviour with any accuracy. However, by identifying those areas that are the current frontiers of the discipline it is possible to guess at the most likely research developments over the next decade. From my own biased perspective, the research programme most likely to be productive in the near future is that of behavioural ecology, which studies, among other things, animal decision making in an ecological context. I focus on situations in which animals must make decisions under conflicting objectives, e.g., to simultaneously maximize net energy intake while minimizing risk of predation. New data on guppies (Poecilia reticulata) are presented and the recent literature is reviewed to support the notion that animals in such situations behave so as to maximize fitness. Habitat choices, ontogenetic habitat shifts, and the phenomena of vertical migration and downstream drift are beginning to be considered in this genera...
