[Relation between the learning of young rainbow trout in a shuttle-box and survival in the presence of an unfamiliar predator].

The analysis of the curves of acquisition of a conditioned reflex (CR) in a shuttle box allowed to reveal three stages of this process and establish in two-year rainbow trouts the presence of four types of individuals differing in the dynamics of processes of the CR formation. A direct positive connection is established between the speed of learning in a shuttle box and surviving of young fish in the presence of artificial predator.
