Zebrafish (<i>Danio rerio</i>) Prefer Undisturbed Shoals over Shoals Exposed to the Synthetic Alarm Substance Hypoxanthine-3N-oxide (C<sub>5</sub>H<sub>4</sub>N<sub>4</sub>O<sub>2</sub>)

As an anti-predation behavior, shoaling enhances survival among prey species by reducing individual predation risk through mechanisms like the dilution effect and collective vigilance. Zebrafish—a highly social and genetically tractable species—are valuable for studying these behaviors. The present...
