Juvenile individuals of the cave characidAstyanax mexicanus recognize to a significant extent, in a choice-apparatus, the odor of known conspecifics as compared to that of unknown ones during the first 2 min of a 10-min experiment. After this initial oriented response, exploration becomes random.

Using a new methodological approach, it is ascertained not only the absence of positive chemotaxis to odour of known or unknown conspecifics, but also the presence of a strong negative Chemotaxis towards the odours of unfamiliar conspecials and of individuals belonging to the closely related species Barbus conchonius.

Although learning plays a large role in the behaviour of fishes, the learning capacity of fishes may also be useful to fisheries research and hatchery operations.
