Did a classification error doom a fish called a slapper skate to near extinction?
As illustrated by Equation 3, ignoring fish error in the standard analysis of outcomes with a strong fish effect will yield mercury effect estimates that underestimate the adverse effect.
Taghavi Motlagh et al. (2010) declared that different values of L ∞ and k might be associated with sampling error, variation in fishing intensity or environmental conditions.
First, they provide a more "realistic" (i.e., 3D vs. 2D) representation of zebrafish swimming activity, minimize potential errors in interpreting fish lateral movements (towards the camera/observer), and simplify comparison of manual, event-based and automated endpoints for each fish within a single track file.
In a second experiment, where the task consisted of discriminating 2 vs 3 elements with all non-numerical variables simultaneously controlled for, all subjects proved able to learn the discrimination, and interestingly they did not make more errors than the fish in Experiment 1 that could access non-numerical information in order to accomplish the task.
Due to uncertainties or errors in the fish genome assembly, a natively syntenic region may be split over two or more discontinuous regions.
As he later told Robert Stern, producer of a documentary on the Mongolian Navy, that bureaucratic error detoured him from fish farming to deep-sea fishing.
Since the inverse PCR and confirming PCR was performed on DNA from different batches of embryos, we can exclude the possibility of DNA contamination or fish husbandry error and conclude that the enhancer trap transposon insertion into the PARG gene causes GFP expression in caudal primary motoneurons.
Each point represents the mean across fish and error bars represent S.E.M. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.08163.011 In general, mormyrids respond to electric signals by increasing or decreasing their rate of EOD production (Moller et al., 1989; Post and von der Emde, 1999; Carlson et al., 2011; Lyons-Warren et al., 2012).
We calculated this error rate by considering hatchery fish, whose parents were not sampled, as offspring for each parental cohort 2003 2005.
