My mistake. Since you know everything I must be wrong. Go away and admit you're wrong for once. PM Oddball, surely you can't know more than he does. Or maybe you think you do. Smh

Rays use electro-receptors and sense of smell very similar to sharks. A simple search will give all the answers needed for those that dont believe its so.
If it wasnt so why can I hide a piece of food under a rock and the rays can find it. They will keep blowing under the rock until it comes out or they move the rock releasing the food.
This is the ray section and as far as I know rays don't have long snouts so they don't smell they taste

He knows much more than you, obviously. Edited my post to not be infracted for arguing with a wanker as he might say

Fish do have a sense of smell. Rays and other Elasmobranchs, in particular, have an excellent sense of smell. Anything producing an odor does so by throwing off molecules from it (the source of the smell). These molecules are termed as volative (easy to evaporate); that's why you can't smell something like steel since nothing evaporates from its surface. Fish have chemoreceptors in their nares (specialized olfactory receptor neurons) that come into contact with these molecules and send signals to the olfactory cortex in the brain where smells are percieved as being familar or unfamiliar.
There's a fairly in-depth paper on the olfactory senses of Elasmobranchs available on the web. It's written by Meredith and Kajura of Florida Atlantic University.

Hopefully the price goes up per pound like all the rest of their food and I make out really well with my purchase before the price change. If not I would have purchased it all sooner or later.
