Abstract

Betta Fish Reactions to Color: A Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis

Students: Jessica Barrios and Jackie Arnott
Mentor: Shala Hankison (OWU Department of Zoology)

We will be studying the connections between mating, aggression, and the coloration of male betta fish and how they react to the coloration of other betta fish. We chose this topic because coloration is genetically linked to aggression in male betta fish, and because aggressive behaviors are very similar to mating behaviors.
