Do zebrafish get bored?

November is ending and in this period of late autumn people often have difficulties finding activities to keep them occupied. Rainfall and cold force us to stay at home and without inside activities, we can easily get bored. And what about zebrafish in their tank? Can they also get bored?  This article of the month aims to highlight the importance and impacts of enrichment in fish tanks on zebrafish boredom, anxiety and cognition. Enrichments are also part of the 3R’s (Replacement, Reduction and Refinement) principles.  3R's principles Natural environment of…

Fluorescent zebrafish and the detection of transgenic lines by the EggSorter

Halloween is just around the corner and zebrafish are in a spooky mood too! Did you know that fish can be fluorescent? Researchers are using fluorescent zebrafish to study a wide range of development mechanisms and pathways. This article explains how fluorescent zebrafish are obtained and how fluorescence can be detected. It also highlights the areas of use and important discoveries made possible by this technology. Finally, the article also explains how the EggSorter can be adapted to detect fluorescence.  Zebrafish transgenic lines Fluorescence detection in the EggSorter Conclusion References…

Zebrafish to study the effects and impacts of alcohol

Alcohol and alcoholism represents a major concern for public health. Each year, more than 3 million deaths are caused by excessive alcohol consumption (1). Drinking has become a regular part of going out with friends and family. Drinking alcohol not only influences the behaviour of consumers, but also their metabolism, and it is not without any effect on the organism. In order to gain a better understanding of the metabolism and effects of alcohol, numerous studies are being carried out on model organisms. This article presents the effects of alcohol…

Virtual reality to study the zebrafish brain

Virtual reality games are becoming increasingly popular. They allow users to fully immerse themselves in another, virtual world.  Did you know that virtual reality systems are also used in research ? It is the case in the study of the brain and its mechanisms. This article is going to explain how it is possible to track neuronal activities in fish brains, using virtual reality. Studies with zebrafish where virtual reality is involved The method Conclusion References Studies with zebrafish where virtual reality is involved Virtual reality is used to study…

Perception of seasonality in zebrafish

Summer is here and we can enjoy the long days. Longer days allow us to be more active and can give us more energy. But what about animals? Do they perceive the changing of the seasons? This month we are going to discover how zebrafish perceive environmental changes such as light and temperature. Natural range Monsoon impacts on zebrafish Perception of seasonality Conclusion References Natural range Zebrafish are found in the river Ganges and its branches in India, Bangladesh and Nepal. They can also be found in Sri Lanka and…
