The Zebrafish is small and robust.
This protocol describes regular care and maintenance of a Zebrafish laboratory.
The aquarium should be closed, as Zebrafish can jump out of the water.

Consciousness began when insects and fish developed larger brains with about a million neurons(honeybees)
or 10 million neurons(Zebrafish) around 560 million years ago.
Zebrafish, a small tropical bony fish,
is highly suitable for research into the skeleton, and can reveal the biological processes in the human skeleton.
The researchers chose Zebrafish for their study because it is a robust species whose schools
tend to switch direction and move about very quickly.
To that end, Mchaourab's lab is creating a transgenic
model of the human P-glycoprotein gene inserted into Zebrafish to better understand how the transporter binds different compounds.
To reduce both the severity and incidence of craniofacial defects, researchers use animal model systems- particularly mouse, chicken,
frog and Zebrafish embryos- to try and uncover the reasons why these defects occur.
The Department of Cardiovascular Science, recognised in 2014 Research Excellence Framework exercise as a world leader in cardiovascular disease research, with a focus on elucidating the
molecular mechanisms underlying disease using Zebrafish models.
