| Abstract: | The authors discuss a study on emotional fever among zebra fish and stress-induced hyperthermia among the said fish. The authors mention that the study shows that zebra fish captured and held in water with a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius shows a preference to swim in water with 28.75 degrees. The authors add that the study exhibit an incomplete description of methodology and possibly an inappropriate statistical analysis. |
