The objective of this study was to determine the effect of salinity on anxiety behavior and liver antioxidant capacity in the guppy ( Poecilia reticulata ). Guppies were exposed to salinities of 0‰, 5‰, 10‰, 15‰ and 20‰ for acute stress tests, and then we analyzed the activity of antioxidant enzymes...
