Abstract: Despite long-term domestication to stable temperatures, laboratory-strain zebrafish have kept the same upper thermal tolerance as wild-caught zebrafish held under laboratory conditions. Wild zebrafish tested in India, however, had a lower thermal tolerance highlighting that… read more here.
