Towards less hazardous chemicals : identifying chemical bioactivity through fish behavioral profiles.
Because most chemicals in commerce lack empirical toxicology information, innovative approaches are needed to identify substances presenting elevated hazards and risks to public health and the environment. When larval fish models are employed with automated tracking technologies, behavioral studies …
