Nemo there's no place like home

So maybe Nemo wandered off a little too far in the movie, but according to this article researchers have discovered many young clown fish who stray find their way home. Despite the fact these creatures float around the ocean as larvae for a week, research found a third of the juveniles settle back near their original resident anemone.

This is the first time researchers have tracked fish using DNA analysis and chemical tagging with the antibiotic tetracycline.

Dr. Sean Connolly, a lecturer in marine biology at James Cook University, said that the baby fish don't necessarily boomerang back to their mom and dad's pad, but find another anemone in the same neighborhood. While no one knows how the fish find their way back, Connolly thinks possibly they are guided by certain smells or sounds of their particular reef.

Connolly says the research is helping plan marine reserves to help sustain the fish's population.
