Zebrafish have recently gained huge scientific popularity as a Model Organism for human phenomena. Many factors cause them to be a great choice for research, including:
<ul>
<li>High fertility: Zebrafish can have lots of offspring in one brood</li>
<li>Short generation time - reaches sexual maturity in 1.5 months, full adulthood in 3</li>
<li>Smaller space requirement that other vertebrate models like mice - make them a much more financially feasible option, in addition to being very inexpensive to purchase/ grow in general</li>
<li>It is easy to produce large numbers of zebrafish in a laboratory setting</li>
<li>Almost fully sequenced genome that is highly conserved with humans</li>
</ul>
For studying cardiovascular disorders:
<ul>
<li>Heart function can be assessed visually - can visually monitor dynamic cellular events</li>
<li>There are a huge variety of mutants that resemble human disorders</li>
<li>Heart can regenerate quickly after injury</li>
<li>Hearts are small enough that they can be essentially simplified to single cells for certain purposes, particularly Microelectrode,</li>
</ul>

-Zebra Fish, Zebra Danios, or Danio rerio, are small fish that originate from streams in India. They have recently come to prevalence in the scientific community for research, as they have many attributes that make them a great model organism. In the CHAOS lab, zebrafish is the most commonly used animal for experimentation, and are mainly used in Optical Mapping and Microelectrode.
