Article Synopsis
- The Scototaxis test measures how laboratory fish prefer dark or light environments, revealing that many species typically favor darker areas.
- In tests with individual fish, dark-bodied and transparent fish showed a strong preference for darkness, while those with luminescent or white bodies exhibited less clear preferences.
- When these fish were tested in groups, their preferences changed, indicating that social context and body color influence their anxiety-like responses to light and dark environments.
