AI Article Synopsis
- A new system called "playpens" was created to effectively track individual juvenile zebrafish in standard 10 L tanks.
- Playpens are made of acrylic and screen materials, allowing for the raising of 12 individual zebrafish in existing recirculating fish systems.
- In a week-long experiment, zebrafish raised in playpens grew to the same size as those raised using conventional methods.
Article Abstract
Even though many experimental approaches benefit from tracking individual juvenile animals, there is yet to be a commercial zebrafish rack system designed to accomplish this task. Thus, we invented playpens, an acrylic, and screen container, to raise 12 individual zebrafish juveniles per standard 10 L tank on an existing recirculating fish system. During a week-long experiment, fish raised in playpens grow to the same size as conventionally raised juveniles.
