“Are Fish Smart? Do they Have Personalities?”

Do fish have personalities? Marine biologist Even Moland’s research has taken him around the world, from the Great Barrier Reef to Skagerrak, Norway. In studying the behaviour and movement of fish and lobsters–how they live, where they hide, which ones are caught by fishers, and which ones escape to obtain large sizes and old age–he’s also learning how marine populations can be protected. Moland and his colleagues are using diving, tagging and tracking to study the movement, life and fate of marine animals.
