Abstract

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a tropical freshwater fish and a popular aquarium fish belonging to the minnow family (Cyprinidae) of the order Cypriniformes. This species has been popular since the early 1970s as a valuable experimental model applied in studying vertebrate development, biological development and genetic illnesses. The zebrafish is an animal model that was established to be an ideal experimental model for several biological disorders. Housing of zebrafish is less cumbersome relative to other animal models, allowing cost efficiency. Moreover, rapid egg production and early developmental morphology of this small organism make it one of the favorite animal models for drug screening. One mating can produce approximately 300 eggs in each conjugation in one night. Their small eggs can be placed into the wells of plates and survive for approximately 7 days without feeding or changing the water. Based on this advantages, zebrafish have been developed as animal model in pharmacology. In this presentation, some zebrafish models for several diseases are explained.
