Quote: Call them Pavlov's fish: Scientists are testing a plan to train fish to catch themselves by swimming into a net when they hear a tone that signals feeding time.

Interesting concept... although the "rate of return" once the fish are out in the wild might not be as high as researchers want. (i.e.: predators, disease, dumb fish, etc).
I know fish can be taught things but I didn't think they had ... long term memory.
