Publishing their findings in the scientific journal Biology Letters, the …

They even stole food the divers carried that was meant to be used as rewards for other fish in their experiments. The seabream appeared to be able to recognize the divers, and the team suspected that they even knew which individual humans had previously carried the food be…
