The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a tropical freshwater fish belonging to the minnow family (Cyprinidae) of the order Cypriniformes. Native to the Himalayan region, it is a popular aquarium fish, frequently sold under the trade name zebra danio. The zebrafish is also an important and widely used vertebrate model organism in scientific research, and was the first vertebrate to be cloned. It is particularly notable for its regenerative abilities, and has been modified by researchers to produce several transgenic strains.
The zebrafish is a derived member of the genus Danio, of the family Cyprinidae. It has a sister-group relationship with Danio kyathit. Zebrafish are also closely related to the genus Devario, as demonstrated by a phylogenetic tree of close species. The zebrafish was referred to in scientific literature as Brachydanio rerio for many years until its reassignment to the genus Danio.
The zebrafish is native to the streams of the southeastern Himalayan region, and is found in parts of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Burma. The species arose in the Ganges region in eastern India, and commonly inhabits streams, canals, ditches, ponds, and slow-moving or stagnant water bodies, including rice fields. Zebrafish have been introduced to parts of the United States, presumably by deliberate release or by escape from fish farms.
Feel bad for Lab Rats? Well don't feel bad for them any more! Turns out Zebrafish are even better 'lab rats' than the lab rats and are being used more and more frequently. Trace has what makes these little guys such good test subjects.

The zebrafish, Danio rerio, has become a very important model organism for use in scientific research in a number of different fields. As well as being useful, they can also be strikingly beautiful. In this film we hear from someone who looks after them, and the scientists who are studying their brains. This film was created by Kaz Janowski whilst on a work placement with the Wellcome Trust.
This is a short video, I tell you the details that some of the other videos fail to mention. Details that make it much easier to breed Zebra fish. Thank you for watching.
When the zebrafish heart is damaged, the wound site is rapidly sealed with a fibrin clot that stems bleeding within seconds. Following clot formation, the tissue that surrounds the heart muscle—the epicardium—gradually covers the fibrin clot via migration and cell division. Over the next few months, new cardiac muscle is produced and replaces the clot. Growth factors, like FGF1, produced by the new heart tissue, signals the cells of the epicardial layer to migrate into the heart and form new blood vessels, to provide essential blood flow to the regenerating tissue. Over time, the wounded zebrafish heart returns to nearly its original shape, size, and pumping ability. Zebrafish Heart Regeneration Background Although the human heart is virtually unable to regenerate new muscle when sever...
The little fish Danio rerio holds secrets to understanding how vertebrates develop, how diseases like cancer work, and how we might one day learn how to regenerate human heart tissue.

Video demonstrate how to make a trap to collect eggs and seperate them from their parents.
This film shows some of the aspects of zebrafish production and maintenance. Zebrafish embryos, unlike mouse embryos, develop outside the mother's body and are transparent throughout the first few days of life. This provides unparallelled opportunities for researchers to scrutinise the fine details of embryonic vertebrate development without first having to resort to invasive procedures or killing the mother. This advantage is enhanced by the fact zebrafish can produce 200-300 fertilised eggs every week.

Does the evolutionary struggle for survival begin as early as the sex-cell stage? This is the question that Simone Immler at Uppsala University will try to answer by studying zebrafish. Her research may improve our knowledge of diseases caused by mutations in sex cells.
