[Recognition of chemical stimuli by guppy, Poecilia reticulata Peters].
An alimentary conditioned reflex to beta-phenylethanol and a subsequent differentiation of cumarine were elaborated in conditions of simultaneous paired choice in guppies. It was shown that beta-phenylethanol in a concentration not over 7 X 10(-6) M is perceived through olfaction. The conditioned reflex persists for a long time: twenty five to fifty days after section of the olfactory nerves (the conditioned reflex is restored after their regeneration) and at least seventy days in intact fishes.
