Abstract

We have investigated a sequence of visits to arms in a cross maze in juvenile (1-year-old) roach Rutilus rutilus (L.). Fish embryos of one group are raised under a natural geomagnetic field. The embryos of another group are exposed to the main phase of a simulated geomagnetic storm (changes in geomagnetic field up to 100 nT for each component). It turns out that the sequence of visits does not differ from random in both groups. Thus, the exploratory behavior in juvenile roach differs from other animal taxa investigated earlier. In the latter taxa a spontaneous alternation was observed: a tendency to visit the arm which was visited least recently.
