Antioxidant and immune gene expression in zebra fish (Danio rerio)

Iodine is the main ingredient produced by the thyroid hormone, which playa a central role in the metabolism and the immune system. The present study aims to evaluate the effects of feeding Artemia fransiscana enriched with potassium iodide on antioxidant and immune gene expression in zebra fish (Danio rerio). Zebra larvae with an average weight of 2±0.01 mg were randomly distributed into 4 trea...

Determining the lethal concentration of formalin to zebra fish (Danio rerio)

Formalin is an effective solution for surface and equipment disinfection and also for several aquaculture industry challenge. Since various aquatics have different sensitivity to this substance, determination of a precise concentration for cultured fish is important. Because of diversity in aquarium fish species, this topic more highlights. In this study, the method of The Organisation for Econ...

Effect of TiO2 nanoparticles on the acute toxicity of Ag nanoparticles in zebra fish (Danio rerio)

The potential entry of nanomaterials into the water ecosystems increased following their increasing use. In addition to the direct effects of nanomaterials on aquatic organisms, they also affect the toxicity of other pollutants on aquatic organisms. This study assessed the presence of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nTiO2) in water on acute toxicity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on zebra fish...

Danio Rerio, the Zebrafish

The zebrafish has long been a favourite model for the study of vertebrate development. Here we provide an overview of the current state of knowledge and resources for the study of this fish, with comments on the future direction of zebrafish genomics from Professor Mark Fishman and Dr Stephen Wilson.
