Table 1. Summary of results from ethanol (1%) exposed and control fish in the novel approach test.

Bold items show significant differences between ethanol and control groups (α = 0.05). P values were calculated with an unpaired t-test for parametric data and a Mann–Whitney test for non-parametric data.

Control (n = 19) 2.1 ± 0.5 102.2 ± 14.9 478.6 ± 20.3 3,649 ± 388 5.9 ± 0.7 58.6 ± 21.7
