Behavioural responses of fishes to chemical cues: results from a new bioassay
A new behavioural bioassay for determining the locomotor response by fish to chemical cues is described. The assay combines a behavioural trough, capable of delivering up to 10 discrete plumes of treated water, together with a digital method for quantifying the movements of single fish. Sample respo...
