Properties of the visible light phototaxis and UV avoidance behaviors in the larval zebrafish

For many organisms, color is an essential source of information from visual scenes. The larval zebrafish has the potential to be a model for the study of this topic, given its tetrachromatic retina and high dependence on vision. In this study we took a step towards understanding how the larval zebra...
