传统上用于遗传学的斑马鱼现在在行为神经科学中越来越受欢迎。斑马鱼是一种小型硬骨鱼（硬骨）淡水鱼，起源于印度北部，在世界范围内用于从胚胎到成年的大多数发育阶段的研究。虽然已经发表了几篇关于斑马鱼视觉颜色识别和学习的论文[1,2]，但斑马鱼的自然颜色偏好却很少受到关注[1,2]。特别有趣的是接收器对特定颜色的偏好。动物对特定颜色的自然偏好可能导致视觉辨别、学习、记忆和决策的变化。斑马鱼已被证明具有彩色视觉，其峰值吸收紫外线（362nm）、蓝色（415nm）、绿色（480nm）和红色（570nm）。在本研究中，我们使用四种不同的颜色（红、黄、绿、蓝）来测试斑马鱼的自然颜色偏好。使用条件位置偏好（CPP）装置，使用六种不同颜色的砾石组合来测量在每个彩色隔间中花费的时间。本研究可能有助于进一步发展斑马鱼基于颜色的学习和记忆范式。
The zebrafish (D anio rerio), traditionally used in genetics is now becoming increasingly popular in behavioural neuroscience. Zebrafish is a small teleost (bony) freshwater fish originating from northern India, used worldwide in research in most stages of development from embryo to adult. While, a couple of papers on zebrafish related to visual colour discrimination and learning have been published [1, 2], its natural colour preference has received little attention [2]. Of particular interest is the receiver bias towards a specific colour. Natural colour preference towards a specific colour may lead to changes in visual discrimination learning, memory and decision making of an animal. Zebrafish has been shown to have colour vision with peak absorbance in ultraviolet (362nm), blue (415nm), green (480nm) and red (570nm) [2]. In the present study we used four different colours (red, yellow, green and blue) to test the natural colour preference of zebrafish. A conditioned place preference (CPP) apparatus using six different colour combinations of gravels was used to measure the time spent in each coloured compartment. This study might be helpful in developing further colour based learning and memory paradigms in zebrafish.
