Laboratory aquatic animal research facility
Aquaculture is not used just to produce food for humans! With the increase of public concerns for mammalian (i.e., rat and mice) used in biological and biomedical research, many researchers are now shifting use of animal models in their research onto fish and amphibians. Small, fast growing, and hardy zebrafish that has about 70% similar genetic structure to human hits its stride in being used as laboratory animal in the late 20th century. Many biomedical research institution and universities across the world already developed their zebrafish aquaculture facility or are developing it. Although its culture seems to be simple at first, there are many challenges when it comes to intensive culture of this laboratory animal. Whether you already established your zebrafish facility and would like to overcome your current challenges or are planning to start a new facility, we are ready to provide the best solutions for you. We have a wealth of experience with several zebrafish facilities in North America and have been part of zebrafish facility design and renovation projects.
