Manta rays can recognize themselves in the mirror, sharks can learn from watching each other’s behaviour, some fish can remember the day of the week and all fish feel pain. Fish cognition specialist Culum Brown finds fish fascinating and in his many years of research, he learned quite a bit about their mental capacities that we didn’t even think were possible. Join us on our 30min-journey of talking fish brains and what they can do.

Anastasia and Cat chat with Macquarie University Professor Culum Brown about his fishy passion that started when he was just a little boy.
