Most aquaculture species have long maturation periods that limit breeding efficiency. Here, researchers from the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, report in Science China Life ...

It is humbling to realize that we humans share about 70% of our genes with zebrafish. There are also a whole host of other similarities that make these small transparent fish an ideal animal model for ...

Hi. I’m an absolute novice at breeding zebrafish and was wondering if anybody came across the following problems. My fish are 3 months old and breeding resulted in many eggs, but the majority of these ...

Scientists have relied on animal models as an alternative to testing on human tissues and cells for decades. But not just any organism can adequately model how human cells behave. Researchers take ...
