A system for the quantitative study of the learning capacity of rainbow trout and its application to the study of food preferences and of behaviour. Groups of trout were self-trained in about 10 days to actuate a trigger and feed themselves. This capacity was retained for 3 months without the stimulus of continuous reinforcement. Presented with a choice, conditioned populations showed a high degree of discriminatory ability towards a trigger that supplies food and one that does not. The choice system was used to examine preferences for the taste of pelleted foods. A trained population, under continuous illumination developed a feeding rhythm that occurred about every 8 h.
