Summary
The influence of chlorpromazine (0.25–128 mg/l water) on the behavior ofCarassius carassius L. was tested with regard to 6 exactly distinguishable components of behavior over 24 h. The results were as following:
-
1.
The typical changes of the behavior appear in specific successions depending on the different doses.
-
2.
In spring the resistance to the drug is greater than in autumn.
-
3.
The effect of starvation is seen in an insignificant reduction of sensitivity to the drug.
-
4.
The dosis letalis50 is approximately 2 mg/l.
