It's a popular belief that a fish s memory lasts for only seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they dont
remember what theyve eaten or where they've been, and they don't identify you or any of their friends-every moment
in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time
But dont be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than
ed to think. In fact, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago. In the study,
researchers from Mac Ewan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of
their tank to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again. Researchers used
computer software to monitor the fish's movements They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the
same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences
In fact scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier
study showed that they behaved aggressively(tit b) in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their
past"fights". But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence.
Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in
the wild. " If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area
without putting their lives at risk, " lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.
For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees( H ENE), dolphins and mice on the list of smart
animals. But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence
