Fin-mutant female zebrafish (Danio rerio) exhibit differences in association preferences for male fin length.

Behavioural processes - 1 Jan 2009

Gumm Jennifer M, Snekser Jennifer L, Iovine M Kathryn

Abstract excerpt

Females often choose to associate with males that have exaggerated traits. In fishes, this may reflect an overall preference for larger size in a potential mate. Female zebrafish (Danio rerio) prefer males with larger bodies but not longer fins. The availability of mutant and transgenic strains o...
