Zebrafish Lab Care, Feeding, and Genotyping

Description

Zebrafish lab care focuses on keeping Danio rerio healthy in a research setting. These small vertebrates are used to study development, model disease, and screen for new therapeutics. Their size also lets labs house many fish at low cost.

Good zebrafish health depends on diet and water quality. T...

Transcript

Proper husbandry is essential to the success of experiments performed in zebrafish. Optimal water quality promotes fish health and experimental reproducibility. Additionally, zebrafish egg production is highly dependent on proper nutrition. This video describes how fish are housed and fed in the lab, tips on handling and mana...
