Summary

Automatic Translation

Laboratory housing of turquoise killifish can be scaled up to house and efficiently raise thousands of individual fish in a centralized water filtration system, employing the same infrastructure used for standard zebrafish facilities. Here we detail a list of standardized procedures that allow efficient killifish maintenance.
