Life spans and senescent phenotypes in two strains of Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
GS Gerhard, EJ Kauffman, X Wang, R Stewart… - Experimental …, 2002 - Elsevier
Zebrafish have become a widely used model organism in developmental biology research.
In order to initiate an experimental foundation for aging studies, we have determined some
basic gerontological parameters for populations of outbred zebrafish, and the golden sparse
strain. Outbred zebrafish manifested a mean life span of about 42 months, with the longest
living individual surviving for 66 months. The golden sparse populations had a mean life
span of 36 months and a maximum longevity of 58 months. Skeletal length at death …
