Here I report on my Chill coma (immobilization at low temperatures) of my Shehre’25 fruitflies at Homelab Kolkata done by Batul Pipewala in collaboration with Rahul Sunita Kushwaha
3males and teo females were taken in a small plastic tube.They were kept at 4°C for time intervals of 5min,10mins,15mins and 20mins.
After each time interval a picture was taken to see if the flies had chill coma.The flies were allowed to recover outside the fridge and recovery time was noted.
It was found that the recovery time of my flies from chill coma increased as time at 4°C increased.
