Abstract
This article reports data associated with Prakash et al. [1]. Nemopilema nomurai jellyfish venom (NnV) can lead to neurotoxicity in zebrafish (Danio rerio) model. In the present study, zebrafish were treated with NnV by intraperitoneal injection and the swimming behavior of each fish was evaluated using a score scale. The dose of NnV in each treatment group was based on the protein concentration of NnV. Swimming is the main locomotory movements in the fishes. NnV modulated the swimming behavior of Danio rerio in a dose-dependent manner. In this article provided data are directly related to the previously published research article – “Danio rerio as an alternative vertebrate model for jellyfish venom study: the toxinological aspects of Nemopilema nomurai venom” [1] where the downregulation of acetylcholinesterase activity as well as histopathological alterations were observed from the brain of Danio rerio treated with NnV. Here we provide datasets, including mortality rate table, swimming behavior graph, and videos of zebrafish after NnV envenomation.
