Parental social environment has transgenerational effects on zebrafish (Danio rerio) growth.

ABSTRACT: Social and physical environment can largely influence behavioral phenotypes in fish. Additionally, developmental environment may not only influence the behavior of an individual, but also that of its offspring. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of parental social experience (social housing or chronic isolation) on offspring feeding behavior, growth performance, and intestinal health when fed fishmeal-based or soybean meal-based diets. Offspring from zebrafish raised in chronic isolation (CIO) and offspring from zebrafish raised in social housing (SHO) were randomly assigned to 3.0 L tanks with 25 fish per tank. Each tank was randomly selected to be fed either a fishmeal-based (FM) or soybean meal-based (SBM) diet. There were three replicate tanks (n = 3) for each o
