Аннотация:Taste preferences of four classic taste substances (NaCl, CaCl2, and sucrose, all—10%; and citric
acid—5%), and 21 free amino acids (Lisomers, 0.1–0.001 M) for adult threespine stickebacks Gasterosteus
aculeatus is determined in marine and fresh waters. Gustatory responses were compared in the fish caught in
marine and placed in marine water or in freshwater and in the fish caught in a stream mouth during spawning
migration and in a closed freshwater water body. Taste preferences of threespine sticklebacks depend little on
water salinity. Of amino acids, cysteine, glutamic acid, and aspartic acid are attractive, as well as glutamine
for the fish living permanently in fresh water. Differences in the reaction of fish to agar–agar pellets with
NaCl, CaCl2, and sucrose are considered to be insignificant. Maximum changes occur in the attitude of
threespine sticklebacks to citric acid whose taste is palatable to fish in fresh water. It is assumed that the com
ponents of marine water render a modifying action on gustatory receptors, the function of receptor cell, and
influence susceptibility of fish to the taste of citric acid and, probably, of some other substances. The foraging
behavior of fish in fresh water is more active, they consume more pellets, make more numerous repeated
grasps, and keep pellets longer in the mouth cavity before swallowing or rejection. It is concluded that, in
migratory fish, the abrupt change of external osmotic conditions is not accompanied by noticeable changes
on taste preferences and the majority of substances retain their gustatory properties.
