Single and ready to mingle: zebrafish mating protocols

Zebrafish are social fish, used in research notably for their ability to produce large numbers of offspring. At the end of this month under the sign of love, we are going to present to you the mating process of zebrafish and how laboratories and fish facilities manipulate this natural process to obtain many eggs at the right time. In order to ensure the quantity of eggs needed for the various experiments, it is necessary to understand and have solid knowledge about these mechanisms. Major protocols used are highlighted in this…

Creativity in zebrafish research

In the USA, January is characterized by creativity. In fact, the creativity month celebrates outside-the-box-thinking, the expression of ourselves and the innovations. To match with this idea, we decided to highlight some original uses of zebrafish and related technologies, for which researchers have had to be creative. Some of them are: the use of zebrafish as environmental sensors, as a model to study microbiome-host interactions, as a tool for personalized medicine, on the possible uses of artificial intelligence, and finally, on a double mutant strain called “casper”.  Zebrafish as environmental…
