Zebrafish Housing : The Recirculating and Cost-effective Open Design Aquaria System

The zebrafish’s ease of care and high reproductive rate have made them a popular animal model. It is routinely kept and maintained in commercial aquariums. However, the expense of a particular system was prohibitive for researchers with limited budgets or who worked in universities without zebrafis...

Description
Summary:The zebrafish’s ease of care and high reproductive rate have made them a popular animal model. It is routinely kept and maintained in commercial aquariums. However, the expense of a particular system was prohibitive for researchers with limited budgets or who worked in universities without zebrafish-rearing facilities. Thus, a simple custom-made aquaria system was developed. The recirculating opendesign aquaria system was cost-effective and may frequently be improved. This study has developed a distinctive aquaria system that can tackle the issues related to expanding research based on zebrafish.
