Currently, there are a few low-cost setup aquatic research animal housing system constructions out in publication and they are only suitable for warm water animals but not for cold water animals. We have constructed the first novel cold water stand-alone aquatic animal research housing system that can be used to rear small fish species and embryos with temperature requirements ranging from below room temperature to-5°C. The advantages of this system are that it is less expensive option compared to commercial vendors and is easy to assembly. Our twenty four tank cold water system can simply be modified to accommodate warm water animal research as well, making this system extremely versatile as compared to others of its kind.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
