Explains the advantages of using medaka in experimental designs, to facilitate research, and to stimulate progress by adopting medaka as a model animal The second volume of Medaka: Biology, Management, and Experimental Protocols, together with the first volume, helps to familiarize scientists with the advantages of using medaka in experimental designs, to facilitate research using medaka, and to stimulate progress by adopting medaka as a model animal. The second edition expands on the first by providing additional information and current protocols that have been recently developed, or modified, to successfully raise medaka fish under stable culture conditions in the laboratory. This volume explores new technologies developed after 2009, using the fish as a molecular tool in the fields of life science, evolution, ecology, and toxicology. The authors--noted experts in the field--provide the latest information that spans the varied research disciplines and addresses the value to science of medaka's adoption as a model animal. This important book: Explores the advantages of using medaka in experimental designs, to facilitate research Details the most recent protocols to successfully raise medaka fish under stable conditions in the laboratory Explores the most recent developments in the field Provides step-by step specifics for each protocol, allowing researchers to adapt them for use in their own work Written for students and researchers in fish biology and aquaculture, Medaka: Biology, Management, and Experimental Protocols, Volume 2 introduces the cutting edge research in basic and applied biology using medaka as a model animal as well as descriptions of experimental methods and protocols.
