Zebrafish is an excellent lab animal: • a robust small size aquarium fish with short life cycle (4 generations/year) • a transparent embryo which develops in a dish of water. • hatches day 3, starts feeding day 6• embryo development well characterized • the genome fully sequenced and annotated• multigenerational studies• keeping and monitoring a defined and optimized environment• mutants, advanced GM methods and tg models• low cost• 3R-oriented
