Unlocking the Secrets of Zebrafish Shoaling Behavior for Social Behavior Studies
Zebrafish often swim together in groups called shoals. Scientists have developed a way to track and analyze the behavior of these fish in shoals. By studying how fish move and interact in groups, researchers can learn more about social behaviors in zebrafish. This method can help scientists understand how different factors like drugs, environment, and genetics can affect how fish behave in groups. The goal is to create a standardized test to study social behaviors in zebrafish more deeply.
