Conditions fish encounter during embryogenesis and early life history can leave lasting
effects not only on morphology, but also on growth rate, life‐history and behavioural traits …

Simple Summary The zebrafish is one of the most commonly used animals in scientific
research, but there remains a lack of consensus over good practice for zebrafish housing …

Several behavioral assays are currently used for high-throughput neurophenoty** and
screening of genetic mutations and psychotropic drugs in zebrafish (Danio rerio). In this …

Structural environmental enrichment, that is, a deliberate addition of physical complexity to
the rearing environment, is sometimes utilized to reduce the expression of the undesirable …

Different kinds of experience during early life can play a significant role in the development
of an animal's behavioural phenotype. In natural contexts, this influences behaviours from …

Abstract With over 30,000 recognized species, fishes exhibit an extraordinary variety of
morphological, behavioural, and life-history traits. The field of fish cognition has grown …

Several studies have shown that manipulations to the housing environment modulate
susceptibility to stress in laboratory animals, mainly in rodents. Environmental enrichment …

Why do captive‐reared fishes generally have lower fitness in natural environments than wild
conspecifics, even when the hatchery fishes are derived from wild parents from the local …

Most fishes experiencing challenging environments are able to adjust and adapt their
physiology and behaviour to help them cope more effectively. Much of this flexibility is …

Fishes are used in a wide range of scientific studies, from conservation research with
potential benefits to the species used to biomedical research with potential human benefits …
