The present study presents the results of a survey of a wide range of water bodies in Bangladesh to identify and describe Danio rerio habitat preferences. Field‐based experiments were conducted to determine the vertical distribution of D. rerio in the water column, together with five other fish spec...

Acquisition of the arterial and haemogenic endothelium fates concurrently occur in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) region prior to haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) generation. The arterial programme depends on Dll4 and the haemogenic endothelium/HSC on Jag1-mediated Notch1 signalling. How Notch1 dis...

During inflammation, the proper inflammatory infiltration of neutrophils is crucial for the host to fight against infections and remove damaged cells and detrimental substances. IL-1β and NADPH oxidase-mediated reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated to play important roles in this proces...

In oviparous species a female's choice of oviposition site can have a significant impact on off-spring survival and thereby on reproductive fitness. Here we compare the spawning behaviour of domesticated zebrafish, Danio rerio, in the laboratory with wild fish in a field-based mesocosm study in Bang...

Zebrafish is one of the world's most widely used laboratory species, and it is utilized to answer important research questions in disparate fields such as biomedicine, genetics, developmental biology, pharmacology, toxicology, physiology, and evolution. Despite their popularity, very little is known...

Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) specification occurs in the embryonic aorta and requires Notch activation; however, most of the Notch-regulated elements controlling de novo HSC generation are still unknown. Here, we identify putative direct Notch targets in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) embryonic ...

We know from human genetic studies that practically all aspects of biology are strongly influenced by the genetic background, as reflected in the advent of "personalized medicine." Yet, with few exceptions, this is not taken into account when using laboratory populations as animal model systems for ...

The burden of pesticide use from agricultural intensification lies in the fact that pesticides may end up in aquatic ecosystems and have pernicious effects on non-target organisms, including fish. Different blood biomarkers, including hemato-biochemical indices, erythrocytic nuclear abnormalities (E...

Goldfish with implanted intracranial electroencephalographic (EEG) electrodes showed high-voltage slow activity of 6-9 Hz and a low-voltage fast activity of 16-24 Hz when resting in the dark. The former frequency was prevalent in the telencephalon, diencephalon, and midbrain but remained only in par...

Albino vertebrates exposed to intense light typically lose photoreceptors via apoptosis, and thus serve as useful models of retinal degeneration. In contrast, albino rainbow trout exposed to intense light maintain populations of rod and cone nuclei despite substantial damage to rod outer segments (R...

In Bangladesh, the extensive use of fenitrothion on crops and in aquaculture ponds inevitably threatens a range of aquaculture species, including fish, owing to stress responses and physiological disturbances. The present study elucidated the potential toxic effects of fenitrothion on the blood biom...

Zebrafish (ZF, Danio rerio) has emerged as an important and popular model species to study different human diseases. Key regulators of skeletal development and calcium metabolism are highly conserved between mammals and ZF. The corresponding orthologs share significant sequence similarities and an o...

Evaluating the toxicity of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) is critical as part of the effort to develop waste management regulations for the palm oil industry. In this study, we investigated the acute toxicity of POME on growth performance, behavioral response, and histopathology of gill and liver tis...
