Long-term Behavioral Tracking of Freely Swimming Weakly Electric Fish

Abstract: Long-term behavioral tracking can capture and quantify natural animal behaviors, including those occurring infrequently. Behaviors such as exploration and social interactions can be best studied by observing unrestrained, freely behaving animals. Weakly electric fish (WEF) display readily observable exploratory and social behaviors by emitting electric organ discharge (EOD). Here, we describe three effective techniques to synchronously measure the EOD, body position, and posture of a free-swimming WEF for an e… Show more

Detailed descriptions of the experimental chamber, the aquarium tank designs and water conditions are provided elsewhere (Jun et al, 2014).…”
