Abstract

Embryos of the zebrafish Danio rerio were exposed for 24 h to a simulated geomagnetic storm. Fish that developed from these embryos came out of the starting enclosure into the aquarium sooner than those reared in the normal geomagnetic field. On the other hand, the two groups displayed no considerable difference in general locomotor activity. We hypothesize that exposure of embryos to a geomagnetic storm enhances tolerance to stress caused by a novel environment. A low stress level is, in turn, conductive to exploratory behavior.
