Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for breeding fish, in particular to a laboratory annual breeding method for medaka in seawater (also known as medaka with black spot). Background technique
[0002] At present, there is a lack of internationally recognized marine model fish species for marine ecotoxicology research. Black-spotted medaka ( Oryzias melastigma ) are ubiquitous in the seas of China, North Korea, Japan, and India, etc., with a short generation cycle, small genome, high spawning rate, easy observation, and wide range of salinity adaptation, and have the potential to become marine model organisms. At present, relevant scholars and institutions in China, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea have carried out a number of ecotoxicological studies and applications on it as a new test fish species.
[0003] The black-spotted medaka has a white body, a flat side and a short back, and a pair of large anal fins at the back of the body. The eyes are large ...
