Zebrafish has become a model organism for the study of
developmental biology and genetics. Less is, however, known about
the behaviour of this cyprinid fish. A zebrafish is exposed to many
unfamiliar objects during its lifetime, and the response to these
stimuli is critical for an adaptive behaviour. This book presents a
master thesis from the University of Bergen in Norway on the
behaviour of zebrafish of different origin and background towards a
novel object and how the alarm pheromone released by this species
upon predator attack modifies the response. In this study we found
that laboratory fish inspected the novel object earlier, whereas
the presence of a novel object and also alarm substance increased
shoaling more in the wild strain. Overall,laboratory zebrafish were
bolder than fish from the wild strain. This book provides valuable
knowledge on how genetics and experience interact to shape the
behaviour towards a potential threat in different strains of
zebrafish. It is an essential purchase for fish biologists,
aquarist,ethologists, Lecturers,fisheries students, and
Universities and Research libraries.
