I got a nice book for Christmas from my mother in law called The Art of Freshwater Fishing from Creative Publishing. I like these type of books, Because they are written for the "common man", meaning that they are easy to read, they have excellent pictures, and they are not too thick. Perfect to read anywhere.

I was reading the chaper on Fish Senses and I came across this:
Salmon, hundreds of miles at sea, track the odor of water from their home stream, enabling them to return to spawn at the precise spot where there lives began. Odors also alertfish to the presence of predators or prey. When attacked by a predator, baitfish emit a chemical that warns other baitfish to flee. In a Laboratoty experiment, a small vloume of water from a tank containing northern pike was poured into a tank containing perch. The perch immediately showed signs of distress and scattered.
This is cool if true! I wish the referenced the scientific experiment, Because I would like to know exactly how they did this.
What do you guys think about this?
