The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum), a rare aquatic salamander native to Mexico, has captivated the scientific community for decades. Famous for its unique regenerative abilities, perpetual larval state, and remarkable adaptability, the axolotl has become a cornerstone of modern biological and medical research. Today, axolotl research is driving innovations in regenerative medicine, genetics, developmental biology, and environmental science. This comprehensive guide [...]

In aquatic animal research, one size does not fit all. From zebrafish and amphibians to marine invertebrates, each species presents distinct environmental, physiological, and behavioral requirements. To ensure optimal research outcomes and meet ethical standards, laboratories must adapt their infrastructure to support this growing diversity. At Iwaki Aquatic, we specialize in delivering precision-engineered aquatic systems that meet the complex needs [...]

In any aquatic animal health laboratory or aquatic research center, consistent water quality is not just a procedural preference—it’s fundamental to scientific accuracy and reproducibility. Whether studying the developmental biology of zebrafish, neurological responses in cephalopods, or regenerative processes in Xenopus, even small shifts in water parameters can distort findings and compromise the integrity of research. The Link Between Water [...]

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are widely used in research, aquaculture, and home aquariums due to their adaptability, rapid reproduction, and transparent embryos that facilitate genetic studies. However, maintaining high water quality is essential for their health, longevity, and productivity. One of the most effective ways to achieve optimal water conditions is by using superior aquatic filtration systems. Water filtration in zebrafish [...]

In the fields of genetics, developmental biology, toxicology, and drug discovery, zebrafish (Danio rerio) have emerged as a cornerstone of biomedical research. They are a perfect model organism for researching a variety of illnesses and biological processes because of their small size, quick reproduction, and genetic resemblance to humans. However, careful consideration of feeding, environmental factors, and water quality are [...]

One of the most widely used model organisms in science nowadays is the zebrafish (Danio rerio), especially in studies pertaining to toxicology, developmental biology, and genetics. They are ideal for a wide range of experimental applications due to their transparent embryos, quick reproductive cycle, and genetic resemblance to humans. Nonetheless, preserving a steady zebrafish environment is essential to guaranteeing accurate [...]

Zebra Danios (Danio rerio) are among the most commonly used freshwater fish in aquaculture, scientific research, and the aquarium trade. Their vibrant colors, small size, transparent eggs, and hardy nature make them an attractive choice for breeding in both research settings and home aquariums. However, to ensure successful breeding, specialized housing systems are essential. These systems provide the optimal conditions [...]

Setting up a cutting-edge aquatic laboratory requires careful consideration of a variety of factors, including space, safety, and the scientific goals of the facility. Whether your research focuses on aquaculture, aquatic life sustainability, environmental monitoring, or fish biology, the right equipment is crucial for accurate data collection, ensuring the well-being of aquatic organisms, and facilitating high-quality research. This blog will [...]

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) have become one of the most popular model organisms for genetic, developmental, and behavioral research due to their genetic similarity to humans and their ability to produce hundreds of eggs in a single spawning. This makes them invaluable for research, and with the right environment and care, they can thrive in a breeding tank setting. For anyone [...]

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) have emerged as one of the most widely used model organisms in scientific research. Their genetic similarity to humans, rapid development, and transparency during early egg stages make them invaluable in studying genetics, developmental biology, toxicology, and disease modelling. However, the success of zebrafish research is not solely dependent on the organism itself but also heavily relies [...]
