Schreckreaktion

Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-024834

An alarm response in some fishes as a result of an alarm substance (schreckstoff), or alarm pheromone being introduced into the water via rupture of specialized dermal club cells. Presumably a fish attacked by a predator releases schreckstoff into the water, resulting in the conspecifics making a variety of coordinated escape or fright actions.
