Shoaling Behaviour

AbstractIndividuals of many species live in groups to obtain anti-predatory advantages, foraging benefits and for social reasons. Living in large groups can reduce predation, but as group size increases, competition for resources also increases. The trade-off between the advantages of group living for an individual and competition caused by it can determine group dynamics, and this trade-off can vary with environmental conditions. Shoaling behaviour, the tendency of fish to form groups, is shown to be affected by factors such as resource availability, presence of predators and conspecifics. Although studies indicate that both predation and starvation pressure in an environment can determine whether fish choose to shoal or not, whether prolonged exposure to such conditions influences shoaling behaviour remains little explored. Here, we test how predation pressure and resource availability may interactively shape the shoaling behaviour of zebrafish (Danio rerio) when exposed to combinations of these pressures over a two-week period. We find that shoal size increases with predation and decreases with starvation, and that greater predation pressure increases shoaling tendencies even under reduced food availability. Overall, we show that prolonged exposure to varying predation pressure and resource availability can together influence shoaling tendencies of fish even when such pressures are relaxed.Significant statementIn group living species, group structure and dynamics depend on various intrinsic factors and environmental stressors. Shoaling behaviour in fish, where individuals aggregate to form groups, is shown to be altered with environmental factors such as predation and resource availability. Although studies have examined the effects of these cues on shoaling behaviour, the ecological circumstances experienced by fish could also influence shoaling tendencies. We here show that shoaling behaviour is also shaped by previous experience of fish to predation and food resource availability. We check how shoaling behaviour varies with differences in predation pressure and resource availability after prolonged exposure to these conditions by measuring the shoal size and shoal cohesion in zebrafish. This study illuminates how shoaling tendencies of individuals shaped by the environmental conditions persist even when these environmental pressures are removed.

Ampas tahu mengandung isoflavon genistein dan daidzein yang diduga memiliki efek hipoglikemik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji efek hipoglikemik fraksi etil asetat ampas tahu (FEAAT). Ekstraksi isoflavon ampas tahu dilakukan dengan metode refluks menggunakan etanol dan HCl, kemudian fraksinasi menggunakan etil asetat. Efek hipoglikemik FEAAT dibuktikan menggunakan ikan zebra sebagai hewan uji. Kelompok perlakuan terdiri dari kontrol negatif (akuades), FEAAT1 dan FEAAT2 dengan konsentrasi 3,75% dan 5% serta kontrol positif (metformin). Hiperglikemia diinduksi dengan perendaman menggunakan aloksan 0,05% selama 30 menit, glukosa 1% selama 30 menit. Selanjutnya dilakukan pemberian sampel uji selama 120 menit secara berurutan untuk menguji efek hipoglikemik dari sampel uji. Cuplikan darah diambil pada menit ke-0, 30, 60, 90, dan 120 untuk diuji kadar glukosa darah. Hasil uji menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang nyata pada luas Area Under Curve (AUC0-120) kontrol negatif dengan FEAAT2 dan metformin (p < 0,01). Sementara hasil nilai AUC0-120 FEAAT1 tidak berbeda nyata dengan kontrol negatif. FEAAT2 efektif sebagai agen hipoglikemik pada model hewan ikan zebra yang diinduksi hiperglikemik.
