Highlights
March 13th, 2008. The Board of Directors recently announced the results of an organization-wide vote on changing the name of the organization. Members voted overwhelmingly in favor of changing the name from the New England Zebrafish Husbandry Association (NEZHA) to the Zebrafish Husbandry Association (ZHA). This important change reflects the growth of the association from a small Boston-area support group to a growing international organization made up of members from across the United States, Europe, Australia, South America, and Asia. This change is effective immediately, although the transition will take up to several months, as all association content/materials are updated to reflect the change.ZHA Home
The Zebrafish Husbandry Association (ZHA) is a professional organization dedicated to promoting the improvement of husbandry standards for usage of the zebrafish (Danio rerio) in scientific research.
Who We Are
ZHA’s membership is comprised of a wide range of people interested in zebrafish culture; including research and veterinary professionals, facility managers, technicians, fish culturists, aquacultural engineers, and representatives from various private aquaculture supply and biomedical companies.
Our Mission
To promote and develop zebrafish husbandry standards through education, collaboration, and publication.
Becoming a Member
The only membership requirement of ZHA is a legitimate scientific interest in zebrafish biology and culture.
ZHA's Key Goals
- Gather, review, and disseminate scientific information related to zebrafish biology and culture.
- Develop new and improved husbandry standards based upon published scientific information and ongoing research.
- Facilitate the exchange of zebrafish husbandry-related information.
- Design and execute collaborative research projects in various areas of zebrafish culture and biology with the expressed intent of eventual publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
- Professionalize the field of zebrafish husbandry, especially for those working in biomedical research aquaculture facilities (managers, technicians, etc.).
