The Laboratory Zebrafish

Second only to the mouse and rat, the zebrafish is the most popular animal model in biomedical research. Rapid embryonic development and transparent organogenesis give it unique advantages in the study of biological pathways, vertebrate development, carcinogenicity, drug development, gene function, mutagenesis screening, and toxicology. Providing a quick reference for basic information and common procedures, this guide covers all aspects pertaining to humane use, including basic biology, husbandry, regulatory compliance, technical procedures, and water quality management.
