Abstract excerpt
Three inbred strains and all their possible F1 crosses were monitored in one familiar and three unfamiliar situations. Their behavior was described by species-specific elements of the ethogram. Genetic variability was demonstrated both for behavioral elements and for factors extracted by Principal Components Analyses (PCA). We studied how the behavior of genetically different fish changed across situations and...
