The use of artificial crabs for testing predatory behavior and health in the octopus
ALTEX, 2014 The willingness of the cephalopod mollusc Octopus vulgaris to attack a live crab is traditionally used as a method to assess the overall health and welfare of octopuses in the laboratory. This method requires placing a crab in the home tank of an animal,

Fin-tail coordination during escape and predatory behavior in larval zebrafish. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Larval zebrafish innately perform a suite of behaviors that are tightly linked to their evolutionary past, notably escape from threatening stimuli and pursuit and capture of prey.
