Adelaide Zebrafish Facility

The University of Adelaide Australia

Welcome to the Adelaide Zebrafish Facility

The Adelaide Zebrafish Facility (AZF) is an advanced high capacity aquarium system developed for the maintenance of mutant and transgenic lines of Zebrafish (Danio rerio).

The Facility is based within the University of Adelaide's Molecular Life Sciences Building on North Terrace Campus, with plans underway to develop a live stock storage Facility at the Waite Campus in the near future. Our aim is to provide a cost effective, high quality alternative model organism which will meet the needs of researchers throughout the Adelaide regional area. This includes the major research institutions that we are already working with such as the University of Adelaide, Flinders University, and the Institute for Medical and Veterinary Science.

 

This year the AZF hosted the first Australian Husbandry Workshop as part of
