Zebrafish Husbandry Data on Structural Enrichment Effects Over One Year

Aymene Youcef Krachni published raw data tables from a one-year study on zebrafish husbandry. The dataset compares 16 pairwise tanks, evaluating the impact of structural enrichment with artificial plants on survival, sex ratio, fertility, pathogen burden, and behavior. The data was last updated on 2026-05-19.

Use Cases

• Compare survival rates and fertility metrics between enriched and non-enriched husbandry conditions.
• Analyze zebrafish spatial behavior and place preference based on tank enrichment status.
• Assess pathogen burden in relation to environmental enrichment over a long-term period.
• Evaluate the effect of holding density on behavioral responses to structural enrichment.

Strengths

• Data covers a one-year longitudinal study period.
• Directly compares 16 pairwise tanks (enriched vs. non-enriched).
• Includes multiple readouts: survival, sex ratio, fertility, pathogen burden, and behavior.

Limitations

• Row count and specific column definitions are unknown.
• The description notes benefits were difficult to determine in the specific facility's context.
• Data scale is limited at 31.9 KB, suggesting a small sample size.
