Table 1. Swimmill equipments.

The absolute value of Ucrit measured in adult wild-type zebrafish (3-12 months old) appears to vary by the difference of the swimmill equipments. This is probably due to the size difference of swimming chamber that generates uneven water flow between center and peripheral. Therefore, the comparison of Ucrit should be done in the assays that use the same equipment.
