Measurement of emotional states of zebrafish through integrated analysis of motion and respiration using bioelectric signals

Abstract Fear, anxiety, and preference in fish are generally evaluated by video-based behavioural analyses. We previously proposed a system that can measure bioelectrical signals, called ventilatory signals, using a 126-electrode array placed at the bottom of an aquarium and achieved cameraless real...
