The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is now established as one of the pre-eminent model vertebrate study animals in biology, providing an excellent opportunity to integrate the fields of genetics and behavioral ecology. Considerable attention has been paid to the social organization of animals and the study of zebrafish in this context allows behavioral geneticists to gain an insight into this fundamentally important field. This paper reviews the literature on the social organization of fish, with special reference to the zebrafish. The mechanisms and functions of social behavior in fish and the current understanding of the behavioral genetics of these are discussed. Finally, the impact of domestication on the expression of wild-type behavior patterns in laboratory fish is considered.
斑马鱼（Danio rerio）现已成为生物学中卓越的模式脊椎动物研究动物之一，为整合遗传学和行为生态学领域提供了绝佳机会。动物的社会组织受到了广泛关注，在此背景下对斑马鱼的研究使行为遗传学家能够深入了解这一至关重要的领域。本文回顾了有关鱼类社会组织的文献，特别提及了斑马鱼。讨论了鱼类社会行为的机制和功能以及目前对其行为遗传学的理解。最后，考虑了驯化对实验室鱼类野生型行为模式表达的影响。
