记忆对于增强未来的生存和繁殖至关重要，因为它有助于存储和检索有用的信息，以解决特定的环境问题。然而，我们缺乏定量的证据来证明野生动物在没有加强的情况下能在更长的时间内保持给定的信息。在这里，我们记录了更清洁的鱼Labroids dimidiatus记得被围网捕获长达11个月的相关证据。2015年，来自一个大型孤立珊瑚礁的大约60%的清洁工被用于实验室实验，然后返回捕获地点。11个月后，同一地点50%的清洁工对放置屏障网表现出不同寻常的隐藏反应，相比之下，在过去两年中没有发现清洁工的三个控制点。结果表明，一个高度厌恶的事件(即被困在障碍网中)导致清洁工存储长期的关键信息，使他们能够避免再次被捕获。我们的结果进一步加深了我们对鱼类认知能力和长期记忆保持的了解。
Memory is essential to enhance future survival and reproduction as it helps in storing and retrieving useful information to solve particular environmental problems. However, we lack quantitative evidence on how far animals in the wild can maintain given information for extended periods without reinforcement. Here, we document correlative evidence of cleaner fish Labroides dimidiatus remembering being caught in a barrier net for up to 11 months. In 2015, about 60% of cleaners from one large isolated reef had been used for laboratory experiments and then returned to their site of capture. Eleven months later, 50% of cleaners at the same site showed an unusual hiding response to the placement of the barrier net, in contrast to three control sites where no cleaners had been caught during the last 2 years. The results suggest that a single highly aversive event (i.e., being caught in a barrier net) resulted in cleaners storing long‐term crucial information that allowed them to avoid being caught again. Our results further our knowledge of fish cognitive capacities and long‐term memory retention.
