The four zebrafish arrived at the Tiangong space station aboard the Shenzhou 18 spacecraft on April 26, along with astronauts Ye Guangfu, Li Cong and Li Guangsu. The fish live in a tank that forms ...

In spawning assays, zebrafish were placed in breeding tanks in one of three sex ratios (1 male:1 female; 3 males:1 female; 1 male:3 females). Reproductive efficiency did not differ among groups ...

The zebrafish owes much of this success to its hardiness, cold resistance, easiness to breed and variable omnivorous diet ... Specific pairs of fish can be bred in pair-mating tanks, which are ...

In the wild, sunrise triggers mating; in Hogan’s lab, it’s spurred when he turns on lights and lifts the tank divider ... Weekly breeding ensures the embryo supply. So far zebrafish studies ...

Scientists designed the experiment to examine how the microgravity environment affects zebrafish growth and the balance of the ecosystem, with the fish previously displaying unusual behaviours.

As a model organism, zebrafish has become important in life science studies. However, the potential effect of living environment on their behavior and physiology is often overlooked. This work aimed ...
