Angelo (MSA) Campus, University of Naples Federico II, 3Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), 4Department of Biology, MSA Campus, University of Naples Federico II We describe a behavioral protocol designed to assess how zebrafish’s personalities influence their response to water currents and weak magnetic fields. Fishes with the same personalities are separated based on their explorative behavior. Then, their rheotactic orientation behavior in a swimming tunnel with a low flow rate and under different magnetic conditions is observed.
