Description
T Vujović, with four colleagues, reports a 2026 check of how common lab solvents sway zebrafish larvae on their own. Solvents carry test drugs into fish water, yet the carriers themselves may stir or calm the fish and spoil the read. The team set safe levels for seven of them.
Larvae five days old swam in each solvent at four strengths, from faint to one percent. Cameras tracked distance, speed, turns, and rest under flipping light and dark. Four solvents sped the fish up at half a percent or more. One calmed them at the top dose after speeding them at mid dose, and one slowed them even at mid dose. Two were safe only at the lowest tenth of a percent. Light flips shaped behaviour as much as dose, so the authors urge fixed lighting in such tests.
