Book Description

June 30, 2009 0813808715 978-0813808710 1
Medaka: Biology, Management, and Experimental Protocols, written by experienced researchers and reviewed by international leaders in the medaka field will provide details on how to set up and maintain medaka colonies in animal facilities, how to troubleshoot systems, how to handle the fish when applied to experimental methods, and most importantly it will introduce the researcher to cutting edge research in basic and applied biology using medaka as a model animal. The book will include well-written descriptions of experimental methods and protocols designed to educate the reader how to understand and handle medaka effectively.

Medaka: Biology, Management, and Experimental Protocols will serve as the definitive reference on the species providing essential information on medaka biology, genetics, and genomics, practical guidance to maintenance of fish stocks, and valuable experimental protocols all in a single volume. This book will be a must have addition to the library of fish researchers and those using medaka as a model organism within their laboratories.


Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

As a species rich in biological data and relatively easy to raise and manage, Medaka is becoming an increasingly popular model organism for biological research. Long-used in Japan for its resilience and cost-effectiveness, this valuable species continues to be adopted globally for experimental purposes ranging from ecology to cancer research. Medaka: Biology, Management, and Experimental Protocols covers all aspects of Medaka in the laboratory setting ranging from development of colonies to experimental methods in one definitive text.

Medaka: Biology, Management, and Experimental Protocols uses opening chapters on basic biology and reproduction as a foundation for subsequent chapters discussing the latest in cutting edge research. The text approaches topics such as breeding, morphology, toxicology, and experimental design with practical information and well-illustrated examples from a variety of contexts. A DVD accompanies the full-color text with useful charts and tables, additional images, and video clips from the laboratory setting.

A must-have title for fish biologists and research personnel, Medaka: Biology, Management, and Experimental Protocols is an invaluable reference to scientistsjust beginning to adopt the species as well as established labs.

Key Features:

  • comprehensive reference on a model fish species of growing importance
  • written and reviewed by leading Medaka researchers
  • well-illustrated with full color images DVD with additional illustrations and video demonstrations of research protocol
