Summary
AI-generated from the abstractFour judges observed the effect of d-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD-25) on nine behavior indices in Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens). The effect on seven of the measures could be reliably categorized, indicating that Betta splendens appear to be useful organisms in the bioassay of LSD-25.

Abstract
Four judges observed the effect of d-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD-25) upon nine behavior indices in Siamese fighting fish, Betta splendens. The effect upon seven of the measures could be reliably categorized. B. splendens appear to be useful organisms in the bioassay of LSD-25. Submitted on August 31, 1956
