Bouts of patterned operculum movements at 3 days postfertilization (dpf) have similar temporal properties overall to those observed at 4 and 5 dpf. Histograms show the distribution of operculum inter-movement intervals across subjects at (a) 3 dpf (n = 13; 4842 total intervals), (b) 4 dpf (n = 15; 13,657 total intervals), and (c) 5 dpf (n = 15; 11,637 total intervals). The number of total intervals falling within a particular range (in seconds) is shown as a percentage of the total number of intervals in that age group. Intervals during and immediately following attempted whole-body movements were excluded from this analysis, to focus on the rhythmic component of the behavior. Fish produced short-interval operculum movements (<1 s) at all three ages, though fish exhibited many more long (>5 s) intervals at 3 dpf than at 4 or 5 dpf. |
