Drosophila larvae from three groups (A, B, and C) were placed in the center of an agar plate containing plain agar on one side and salt-containing agar (1.5 M) on the other. After 3 minutes, larval distribution was quantified using a preference index under red light. All three groups showed a significant avoidance of salt. No significant differences in salt avoidance were observed between the groups.
