Fig 2. Stress-reactivity of 6-month old zebrafish as assessed by thigmotaxis.

Fig 2

A) Time course of average time spent per minute at the edge of the apparatus, B) overall average time spent per minute at the edge of the apparatus, C) distance travelled during thigmotaxis, D) Effect of diazepam on adult zebrafish stress-reactivity assessed by thigmotaxis. A,B) Adult zebrafish that had been experimentally exposed to ethanol spent decreased time at the edge of the tank, (F 2, 127 = 3.09, P<0.05). There were no significant differences in distance travelled (C). Adults acutely exposed to diazepam exhibited reduced time spent at the edges of the tanks compared to controls (F 1, 4.98 = 5.44, P<0.001) (D). Post-hoc t-test, * P<0.05.
