High-speed camera recordings uncover previously unidentified elements of zebrafish mating behaviors integral to successful fertilization
Abstract The mating behavior of teleost fish consists of a sequence of stereotyped actions. By observing mating of zebrafish under high-speed video, we analyzed and characterized a behavioral cascade leading to successful fertilization. When paired, a male zebrafish engages the female by oscillating...
