There's something fishy about the plot of Finding Nemo

There's something fishy about Disney鈥檚 Finding Nemo. One scientist has shown how the plot the children鈥檚 animated classic is wrong.

Research carried out by biologist Dr Suzanne Mills has shown that when female clownfish dies 鈥 as Nemo鈥檚 mother does in the film - its male partner would in fact change sex.

Dr Mills told 5 live Breakfast: 鈥淲hen Nemo goes back he would be meeting his mum by then. After about three weeks the male would have lots of hormonal changes and he would become the female.鈥
