The strategies for housing zebrafish used in biomedical research have evolved
considerably over the past three decades. To keep pace with the rapid expansion
and development of the zebrafish model system, the field has generally moved from
keeping fish at the level of aquarium hobbyist to that of industrialized,
recirculating aquaculture. Numerous commercial system vendors now offer
increasingly sophisticated housing systems based on design principles that
maximize the number of animals that can be housed in a given space footprint, and
they are thus able to support large and diverse research programs. This review is
designed to provide managers, lab animal veterinarians, investigators, and other
parties responsible for care and use of these animals with a comprehensive
overview of the basic operating and design principles of zebrafish housing
systems. This information can be used to help plan the construction of new
facilities and/or the upgrade and maintenance of existing operations.
