A review of the Biotechnical of commercial breeding of Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Current and proposed standards for commercial breeding of Danio rerio and other ornamental fish for production in laboratories and farms are different and require indigenize with the specific conditions of each production unit. But the general framework of zebrafish farming as a popular ornamental species and laboratory model has been reviewed by bioscientists for many years and can be considered as a scientific standard and practical guide for successful and economical production of this species. Zebrafish can thrive in a variety of environmental conditions, which is a specific advantage for working with this organism. So, developing a single standard is difficult and probably not beneficial due to the flexible nature of this fish in different environmental conditions and the variety of research needs that are performed on it. Therefore, in this article, we have tried to pay attention to the most important requirements for achieving successful and commercial production of this fish.
