Аннотация:Abstract—The absence of population specificity of taste spectra in fish was confirmed. It was found that the
threespined stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus of populations of the North (Norway), Baltic (Latvia), and
Okhotsk (Kamchatka Peninsula) seas has similar taste preferences to classical taste substances (sodium chlo
ride, calcium chloride, and sucrose—10%; citric acid—5%) and to 21 free amino acids (Lisomers, 0.1–
0.001 M). For fish of all populations, glutamine, glutamic and aspartic acids, and alanine have the most
attractive taste; cysteine, asparagine, and histidine have slightly less attractive taste. In Baltic Sea and Sea of
Okhotsk sticklebacks, relatively not numerous amino acids that cause a significant decrease in pellet con
sumption—phenylalanine, tryptophane, leucine, and tyrosine—coincide (in the North Sea stickleback,
substances with deterrent taste were not revealed). In sticklebacks of different populations, no differences in
manifestation of feeding behavior were found, and correlations between different elements of fish response to
pellets are similar or close the same. It was shown that intraoral sensory testing of food objects in threespined
stickleback can proceed along two alternative behavioral stereotypes similar in fish of the studied populations.
The dependence of stereotypes of intraoral testing on taste qualities of the food object was revealed for the
first time.
