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…

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…

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…
