雄性黑头呆鱼（Pimephales promelas）避免了0.284 mg。L-1的锌时，给出了一个选择的清洁和封闭侧的一个featurelss露天坦克，经常使用的回避/偏好实验。超过六倍的锌（1.83 mg. L-1），以引起回避时，男性被允许建立一个领土下的庇护所一侧的实验室，后来给药。活动增加锌给药时，住房是存在的，但没有改变无住房测试。控制期活动与回避反应强度呈正相关。通过纳入相关的动机因素，在回避实验中观察到的行为应该更能预测自然。一个新的计算机跟踪系统自动记录鱼的运动，计算各种运动反应的测量结果，并将结果存档，为统计分析做准备。
Male fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) avoided 0.284 mg .cntdot. L-1 of zinc when given a choice of clean and dosed sides of a featurelss openfield tank, as frequently used in avoidance/preference experiments. More than six times as much zinc (1.83 mg .cntdot. L-1) was required to cause avoidance when males were allowed to establish a territory under a shelter on the side of the experimental chamber which was later dosed. Activity increased during zinc dosing when a shelter was present but did not change in no-shelter tests. Control period activity was positively related to strength of avoidance response. By incorporating relevant motivational factors, behaviour observed in avoidance experiments should be more predictive to nature. A new computerized tracking system automatically recorded movements of the fish, calculated various measures of locomotor response and filed results in preparation for statistical analysis.
