Zebrafish Shoal Size Preference Data with Sex and Presentation Order Variables

Behavioral data from adult zebrafish tested in a shoal size preference task to examine the decoy effect. The dataset, 19.7 KB in size, was authored by Abhishek Singh and last updated on figshare in April 2026. Experimental conditions include manipulations of subject sex and the order of option presentation.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the decoy effect in animal choice behavior based on the described shoal size preference task.
• Investigating sex differences in decision-making based on the subject sex variable.
• Studying the influence of presentation order on choice outcomes based on the order of option presentation variable.
• Modeling choice behavior in zebrafish to test theories of irrational decision-making.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• File format is a standard CSV, facilitating easy access.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
