“…The N. sipedon washing (putative predator cue) and the Amazon sailfin catfish Pterygoplichthys pardalis (Castelnau 1855) extract (heterospecific control) did not induce any avoidance by migratory-stage P. marinus. In summary, Imre et al (2016) supported the use of damage-released alarm cues as natural repellents aimed at behavioural manipulation of P. marinus populations in the Great Lakes. It is not clear, however, whether P. marinus exhibits sensory adaptation when it is exposed continuously for a longer period, rather than repeatedly for short periods of time to damage-released alarm cues.…”

“…Several studies have recently supported that damage-released alarm cues may serve as a promising addition to the integrated control methods of this formidable invasive species (Wagner et al, 2011;Bals & Wagner, 2012;Imre et al, 2014). Further, Imre et al (2016) investigated whether migratory-stage P. marinus demonstrated habituation (defined as a behavioural response decrement that is not due to sensory adaptation or sensory-motor fatigue; Rankin et al, 2009) to fresh and decayed P. marinus extract (conspecific damage-and putrefaction-released alarm cues), sympatric white sucker Catostomus commersonii (Lacépède 1803) extract (a heterospecific damage-released alarm cue), northern water snake Nerodia sipedon washing, human saliva and 2-phenylethylamine hydrochloride (PEA HCl) (putative predator cues) and fresh P. marinus extract and human saliva mixture (a conspecific damage-released alarm cue and putative predator cue combination) after they were pre-exposed four or eight times, respectively, to one of the above stimuli the previous night. Consistent with the prediction of the study and irrespective of the previous exposure level (×4 or ×8), migratory-stage P. marinus continued to show an avoidance response to fresh and decayed P. marinus extract (conspecific alarm cues), PEA HCl (putative predator cue presented at relatively high concentration) and the fresh P. marinus extract plus human saliva (a conspecific damage-released alarm-cue and predator-cue combination).…”

This study investigated the length of avoidance response of migratory-stage sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus exposed continuously to conspecific damage-released alarm cues for varying lengths of time in laboratory stream channels. Ten replicate groups of P. marinus, separated by sex, were exposed to either deionized water control or to P. marinus extract for 0, 2 or 4 h continuously. Petromyzon marinus maintained their avoidance response to the conspecific damage-released alarm cue after continuous exposure to the alarm cue for 0 and 2 h but not 4 h. Beyond being one of the first studies in regards to sensory-olfactory adaptation-acclimation of fishes to alarm cues of any kind, these results have important implications for use of conspecific alarm cues in P. marinus control. For example, continuous application of conspecific alarm cue during the day, when P. marinus are inactive and hiding, may result in sensory adaptation to the odour by nightfall when they migrate upstream.

“…Conspecific alarm cues are innately recognized cues (Chivers & Smith, 1994a,b) and the effects of prolonged exposure to them mirror findings from natural water bodies where predators are present (Stabell & Lwin, 1997;Laforsch et al, 2006;Meuthen et al, 2019b). Also, in contrast to predator odours, fish do not appear to habituate to conspecific alarm cues even after repeated exposure (Imre et al, 2016). In 2015, threeyear-old adult fish derived from this split-clutch design were then tested in intra-sexual competition trials where alarm cues were absent.…”

High predation risk during development induces phenotypic changes in animals. However, little is known about how these plastic responses affect signalling and competitiveness during contests. Herein, we have studied the consequences of anti-predator plasticity during the intra-sexual competition of Pelvicachromis taeniatus, a cichlid fish with mutual mate choice. We staged contests between adult size-matched siblings of the same sex derived from different environments: one fish was regularly exposed to conspecific alarm cues since the larval stage (simulating predator presence), the other fish to control conditions. Rearing environment did not affect the winner of contests or total aggression within a fight. However, contest behaviour differed between treatments. The effects were especially pronounced in alarm cue-exposed fish that lost a contest: they generally displayed lower aggression than winners but also lower aggression than losers of the control treatment. Thus, perceived predator presence modulates intra-sexual competition behaviour by increasing the costs associated with fighting.

“…Despite the increasing amount of studies interested in odor-driven behaviors of zebrafish, few reports whether fish consistently respond to successive presentations of an odor [63], and the variability or robustness of response has not been systematically investigated for a broad range of odorants. We found that less than a third of the odors used here evoked reproducible responses across trials within individual.…”

Stimulus-specific behavioral responses of zebrafish to a large range of odors exhibit individual variability

Background: Odor-driven behaviors such as feeding, mating, and predator avoidance are crucial for animal survival. The neural pathways processing these behaviors have been well characterized in a number of species, and involve the activity of diverse brain regions following stimulation of the olfactory bulb by specific odors. However, while the zebrafish olfactory circuitry is well understood, a comprehensive characterization linking odor-driven behaviors to specific odors is needed to better relate olfactory computations to animal responses. Results: Here, we used a medium-throughput setup to measure the swimming trajectories of 10 zebrafish in response to 17 ecologically relevant odors. By selecting appropriate locomotor metrics, we constructed ethograms systematically describing odor-induced changes in the swimming trajectory. We found that adult zebrafish reacted to most odorants using different behavioral programs and that a combination of a few relevant behavioral metrics enabled us to capture most of the variance in these innate odor responses. We observed that individual components of natural food and alarm odors do not elicit the full behavioral response. Finally, we show that zebrafish blood elicits prominent defensive behaviors similar to those evoked by skin extract and activates spatially overlapping olfactory bulb domains. Conclusion: Altogether, our results highlight a prominent intra-and inter-individual variability in zebrafish odordriven behaviors and identify a small set of waterborne odors that elicit robust responses. Our behavioral setup and our results will be useful resources for future studies interested in characterizing innate olfactory behaviors in aquatic animals.
