Using Skewness and Kurtosis to analyze zebrafish behavior in a heterogeneous environment
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study investigates the movement patterns of two zebrafish strains, AB and TL, within a varied environment. Using image analysis and statistical tools like Skewness and Kurtosis, the researchers analyzed individual movement paths, density of position, and swimming distances. The results highlighted notable differences in how these strains adapt to environmental complexity, especially in how they spread out and maintain consistent swimming distances. These findings contribute to understanding the different behavioral responses of zebrafish to environmental variations.
