FISHES OF MADHYA PRADESH WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO ZEBRAFISH AS MODEL ORGANISM IN BIOMEDICAL RESEARCHES
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Many surveys on fish species found in reservoirs, rivers, ponds or collection centres of Madhya Pradesh (MP) have been done during recent years. Fish are palatable and proteinous food for human beings. India is now at the threshold of blue revolution and it has made a notable progress in the field of inland fisheries. Fishes not only play an important role in the demand of food for humans but they are widely used for various biological experiments. At present, a number of indigenous and exotic fish species are found either naturally or cultured in the reservoirs of MP. One of the very popular freshwater tropical fish, Danio rerio (zebrafish, a freshwater tropical fish) has emerged as a major model organism for biomedical research, especially in developmental genetics, neurophysiology, oncology and biomedicine. Like most other biomedical model organisms, the zebrafish is chosen for particular traits that make it convenient for laboratory study. The greatest advantage of the zebrafish as a model system comes from its well-characterized genetics, genetic and developmental techniques and tools, and the availability of well-characterized mutants. The induction of experimental diseases, including cancer using zebrafish as a model organism may be a new and an important field of research.
