The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a premier nonmammalian vertebrate model organism.
This small aquatic fish is utilized in multiple disciplines in the Mayo Clinic
community and by many laboratories around the world because of its biological
similarity to humans, its advanced molecular genetics, the elucidation of its
genome sequence, and the ever-expanding and outstanding new biological tools now
available to the zebrafish researcher. The Mayo Clinic Zebrafish Facility (MCZF)
houses ?2,000 tanks annotated using an in-house, Internet cloud-based bar-coding
system tied to our established zfishbook.org web infrastructure. Paramecia are
the primary food source for larval fish rearing, using a simplified culture
protocol described herein. The MCZF supports the specific ongoing research in a
variety of laboratories, while also serving as a local hub for new scientists as
they learn to tap into the potential of this model system for understanding
normal development, disease, and as models of health.
