Feed Trials

Diet is central to good husbandry methods, and trends and preferences for zebrafish feed have changed over the last decade. There has been a swing away from paramecia, for example, towards rotifer (Poster 1) for early stage larval forms. A number of trials have been undertaken within the facility to identify the impact of the myriad options available (Poster 2 and Poster 3), as well as the in-house design of a food dispenser (Poster 4).
