Circannual Behavioral Study in Indian Hill Trout Fish Barilius bendelisis (Hamilton)

Abstract

In the present study, we collected the fishes from the lake throughout the year for their behavioral study with the help of Ethovision XT 13 (Noldus, Infotech, Wageningen, the Netherlands). Different behavioral parameters such as mobility, turn angle, meander, and area of exploration were recorded by using the Basler camera and software. The behavioral profile of each fish was scored for 300 sec at the rate of 25 frame/sec. The digitized scored data was analyzed by using the Graph pad prism. All the parameters showed a highly significant difference at P<0.05.
