Comparison of feeding regimes for Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

摘要

To assess the impact of different feeding regimes on Zebrafish development, refine husbandry and reduce animal numbers.The reliabity and reproducibility of research utilising animal models is paramount. Ideally, a model organism is maintained in standardised conditons, thus minimising variablity. Being a poikilothermic ectotherm, Zebrafish are highly adaptable, they express environmentally induced plasticity at all levels:genetic, individual and population.
