The “Fish Operated Vehicle” saw a tank attached to a wheeled apparatus which was further connected to a camera that could track the fish’s movements. A computer system was also set up that would move the vehicle according to which direction the fish went in.
Once the fish were able to navigate to a target area, they were rewarded with food. The researchers found that the animals were able to reach the target area regardless of where they started out in the room. Perhaps more impressive was the fact that their speed for reaching the target area improved with each test run going from 30 minutes to under a minute. This is not the first study to demonstrate the ability of fish to navigate their environments.
