The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a small, freshwater fish native to South Asia. It is a popular laboratory animal because it is easy to maintain and breed, and its transparent embryos allow researchers to easily observe developmental processes. Zebrafish are also used to study a wide range of biological processes, including genetics, genomics, toxicology, and drug discovery.

The Laboratory Zebrafish Laboratory Animal Pocket Reference is a comprehensive guide to zebrafish husbandry, breeding, and research. This book provides a wealth of information on zebrafish biology, care, and use in biomedical research. It is an essential resource for anyone working with zebrafish, from beginners to experienced researchers.
