We describe a series of stages for development of the embryo of the zebrafish, Danio
(Brachydanio) rerio. We define seven broad periods of embryogenesis—the zygote …

We have taken advantage of the optical transparency of zebrafish embryos to investigate the
patterns of cell division, movement and shape during early stages of development of the …

MATERIALS AND METHODS Mature zebrafish are inexpensive and may be purchased from
petshops or wholesale distributors. Stock tanks can be readily maintained in the laboratory …

The zebrafish is a premier model organism yet lacks a system for assigning postembryonic
fish to developmental stages. To provide such a staging series, we describe postembryonic …

The zebrafish or zebra danio, Brachydanio rerio (Hamilton-Buchanan), used extensively in
ornamental aquaria, is a member of the family Cyprinidae and is native from Bengal to the …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses how variety fluorescent molecules can be used
as vital stains for yolk-containing cytoplasm and interstitial space throughout the entire …

With the recent interest in the reintegration of evolutionary and developmental biology has
come a growing need for understanding the phylogenetic relations and degree of generality …

Zebrafish have been increasingly used as a teaching tool to enhance the learning of many
biological concepts from genetics, development, and behavior to the understanding of the …

Aspects of the early lineages of blastomeres in the embryo of the zebrafish, Brachydanio
rerio have been described. Because of the optical clarity of the embryo, lineages of selected …

Publisher Summary The consensus of the biologists in attendance at the Third Cold Spring
Harbor Conference on Zebrafish Development and Genetics is that the zebrafish has now …
