Dominant eye-dependent lateralized behavior in the scale-eating cichlid fish, Perissodus microlepis

Press release (in Japanese)

Abstract
Visual lateralization, which is commonly observed in many animals, is believed to influence behavioral choices or lateral biases; however, the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. In the present study, we examined eye dominance in the scale-eating cichlid fish, Perissodus microlepis, and the role of the dominant eye in lateralized predation. P. microlepis responded to ….
