The experimental fish were held in two different aquaria, one with three and one with two
compartments. Water containing "water soluble fraction" of Fuel Oil No. 2 was introduced in one
of the compartments. By means of light- and sound-based detectors, the amount of time spent by
the fish in the various compartments was recorded. Although the results were somewhat
contradictory, it seems that the fish avoided water containing more than 100 µg/l of the petroleum
hydrocarbons.
