Zebrafish research today: Tremendous promise to be unlocked with behavioral studies

In medical research, and drug discovery in particular, the zebrafish (Danio Rerio) has demonstrated its extraordinary potential to accelerate research timelines while reducing costs. 

Because transparent larval zebrafish and adult zebrafish display an impressive repertoire of behavior, and share many genetic similarities with humans, they are increasingly relied upon as a research model.  The fish are kept in large fish facilities, typically housing 2,000 aquaria or more.  Thus, keeping all these fish in top health is paramount. 

Closely monitoring the fish to maintain healthy colonies and ensure high standards of welfare and husbandry is instrumental in improving reliability and reproducibility of research.  It minimizes stress-related variability of research outcomes, and reduces the risk of illness and experimental failure. 

The limitations of current husbandry systems include:

Our New, Emerging Technologies Surmount These Limitations

Martineau & Associates is at the cutting edge of behavioral imaging sciences. We’ve designed and developed a series of patented behavioral imaging and analysis systems to equip research scientists with unparalleled data analysis and health monitoring capabilities. We offer the CanaryTank™ product for behavior analysis of groups of adult zebrafish in standard aquaria, and the  WatchYourFish™ service for behavior analysis of groups of larvae in petri dishes in the MagnaTank™ system.
