Wild fish can recognize human divers
With more time, the fish may learn to pay attention to more subtle human features, such as hands or hair. According to the team, observing that wild fish can quickly learn to use specific cues to recognize an individual human diver provides more evidence that other fish species can recognize certain patterns to identify us.
Oh hey, it's you! Fish can recognize humans, research shows
If they get food from a person, they will recognize them next time and follow them persistently. Less generous divers, on the other hand, tend to be ignored, as evidenced by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Animal Behavior (MPIAB) in the German city of Constance.
Experiments show wild fish can recognize individual divers
For years, scientific divers at a research station in the Mediterranean Sea had a problem: at some point in every field season, local fish would follow them and steal food intended as experimental rewards.
Study finds wild fish have ability to recognize individual human divers
One captive-bred species, archerfish, was able to recognize computer-generated images of human faces in lab experiments.

Fish in the wild can tell humans apart! A study found that seabream recognize individual divers, following those who feed them while ignoring others. For years, scientific divers at a Mediterranean re
Fish surprise scientists with ability to recognize humans by our outfits
Fish in the ocean can tell humans apart by what we're wearing underwater, a new study suggests. While domestic animals like dogs can obviously distinguish between people, it's been less clear that wild animals have developed this capability.
Wild Fish Can Tell Human Divers Apart Based on Their Outfits, Study Suggests

Fish Can Recognize People From What They're Wearing
While they're probably not judging anybody on their fashion choices, fish can tell people apart based on their outfits, according to a new study. Researchers say sea bream in the Mediterranean Sea could tell divers apart from subtle differences in their diving gear and followed the one that would reward them with food,
