Is music good for fish?

Published in Fish Behavior 1 min read

Yes, research suggests that fish can differentiate between different types of music and may even exhibit feeding preferences based on the music they hear.

While fish obviously don't interpret music like humans, studies indicate they can perceive the vibrations and potentially react to different sound patterns. This reaction can influence their behavior, including their feeding habits. Although a fish may not appreciate the lyrical content of "Cheeseburger in Paradise," they can distinguish between genres.

Therefore, the impact of music on fish is more about the sonic properties and vibrations than an appreciation for art.
