No, anglerfish are not taught by their parents to catch food. After hatching, the young anglerfish are largely independent and must fend for themselves. They rely on their innate hunting skills and unique adaptations, such as their bioluminescent lures, to attract prey. Parental care is minimal, and anglerfish generally do not exhibit any form of social learning.
