Abstract
We show the number of feeding attempts and time spent in the feeding/shock zone decreased with increased shock intensity and with increased food deprivation the number and the duration of feeding attempts increased as did escape responses as this zone was entered. These data suggest that goldfish balance their need for food against avoidance of an acute noxious stimulus.
