Article Synopsis
- Small fishes can learn to recognize predators by associating chemical alarm cues from their injured skin with new stimuli, like sounds or odors.
- In an experiment with zebrafish, researchers paired a specific sound (Tone 1 at 285 Hz) with predation risk, leading to observable fear responses.
- However, the fish showed no fear response to a different sound frequency (762 Hz), indicating that they may not generalize auditory cues to the same extent as olfactory or visual cues, possibly due to differences in sensory processing.
