"Second only to the mouse and rat, Zebrafish are the most popular animal model in biomedical research. Rapid embryonic development and transparent organogenesis, give Zebrafish unique advantages in the study of biological pathways, vertebrate development, carcinogenicity, drug development, genomics, gene function, mutagenesis screening, and toxicology. Providing a quick reference source for basic information and common procedures, this guide is designed for a range of experience levels. It covers all aspects pertaining to the use of these organisms including humane care and management, husbandry, compliance, technical procedures, veterinary care, housing, and water quality management"--Provided by publisher.
