End-of-century CO 2 levels can disturb the behaviour of marine fish. We exposed freshwater zebrafish to elevated CO 2 , which affected turning preferences but not activity and anxiety levels. This indicates that some behaviours of freshwater fishes can be altered by elevated CO 2 in a similar manner to marine fishes.
