Numerous studies have examined social learning in different contexts... Our study is one of the first showing that fish exhibit remarkable sex-specific behavioural flexibility in a social context when reward contingencies change unpredictably.

Scientists persevere to show self-awareness is also for some fish. An international team of researchers address criticisms to previous work by providing additional evidence to suggest the cleaner fish Labroides dimidiatus has Mirror Self-Recognition.

Trout Appear to Get Hooked on Meth: After eight weeks of exposure to ecologically plausible levels of methamphetamines, the fish tended to prefer meth-laced water over water without the drug.

Environmental enrichment promotes neural plasticity and cognitive ability in fish: Different kinds of experience during early life can play a significant role in development. In natural contexts, this influences behaviours from anti-predator responses to navigation abilities.

Ample evidence that fish feel pain: "I was the first to identify the existence of nociceptors in a fish in 2002. These are specialised receptors for detecting injury-causing stimuli, and their physiology is strikingly similar to those found in mammals, including humans." - Dr. Lynne Sneddon

Five ways fish are more like humans than you realize. Scientists have conducted experiments to discover more about fish—including their neurobiology, their social lives and mental faculties—they've found time and time again that fish are more complex than they're often given credit for.

A new study has revealed, for the first time, that fish can show compassion for each other through prosocial behavior.

Flashlight fish have the ability to generate situation-specific blink patterns resembling a visual Morse code. Researchers have shown in laboratory and field experiments that the animals use these light signals to coordinate their behavior in the school when visibility is limited.

Wild zebrafish assess risk through social learning. Wild zebrafish, which are more timid than their domesticated counterparts, became emboldened after interacting with domesticated zebrafish. The opposite did not occur, however.

Study: Archerfish can learn to discriminate a large number of human faces, demonstrating that they have impressive pattern discrimination abilities, and providing evidence that a vertebrate lacking a neocortex can do so to a high degree of accuracy.

Infection by parasites disturbs flight behaviour in shoals of fish: In order to escape predators, many fish have developed strategies for rapidly transmitting information on threats to others of their species. This collective response is also known as shoal behavior.

Triggerfish learns to catch more diverse food - Ph.D. student Matthew Tietbohl and colleagues at KAUST report a peculiar feeding strategy by a titan triggerfish that highlights their innate ability to learn and adapt.

When power is toxic: A new study of fish behaviour shows that dominant individuals can influence a group through force, but passive individuals are far better at bringing a group to consensus. The study overturns assumptions that dominant individuals also have the greatest influence on their groups

Fish exposed to noise pollution likely to die early: study

Experiments using zebrafish show that social experiences during the very first week of development impact behavior before the fish are considered social. This suggests that these experiences mark the fish much earlier than previously thought.

Some fish communicate using electric pulses to create small zaps that send messages to other animals. Some species use short sharp zaps while others send longer more delayed messages.
