FAQs and Methodologies; Zebrafish

[Dick Vogt]

Well, there have been several requests re. methods and someone has 
inquired re. FAQs.  It seems early for this perhaps, or at least there 
are already repositories for methodological info of a general nature.  
Besides, I'm already doing everything I can just to keep up with my own 
experiments.  I will remind folks of several resourses.

THE ZEBRAFISH BOOK and THE MONITOR are available for modest cost (Monitor 
is actually free) from University of Oregon.  The BOOK focuses on methods 
for rearing and manipulating zebrafish, and the MONITOR is a newsletter 
published several times a year that includes methods updates.  I believe 
that any one who purchases the BOOK will receive back issues of the 
MONITOR.  To get the BOOK, contact:

Pat Edwards
Institute of Neuroscience
University of Oregon
Eugene, OR  97403
edwards at uoneuro.uoregon.edu

Also, there are several WWW servers focusing on Zebrafish research.  Of 
particular note are two:

http://zfish.uoregon.edu/  connects you to the server at University of 
Oregon.  This site contains many useful things, including html versions 
of both the BOOK and MONITOR, as well as reference and address lists.

http://zebra.scarolina.edu/  connects you to the server at University of 
South Carolina (me) that contains miscelaneously useful pointers, job 
offers and inquireries, zebrafish relevant announcements, etc.
