Zebrafish exhibit robust agonistic behavior including chasing, biting, and lateral threat displays. Aggression assays — typically using mirror tests, dyadic encounters, or resident-intruder paradigms — are used to study serotonergic and dopaminergic modulation, genetic determinants of dominance, and the effects of environmental stressors.
ConductVision uses multi-animal identity tracking and behavioral classification to automatically detect chases, contact events, and displays. The software outputs temporal ethograms and composite aggression scores without manual video coding.
