looking for visually impaired mutant zebra-fish

[Arthur Bergen]

Dear colleagues,

Coming from the human genetics field, I very recently entered the
field of zebra-fish research. Currently, we are setting up a new
facility for zebra-fish research  at The Netherlands Ophthalmic Research
Institute. As a first start, we are looking to study mutant zebra-fish
which are visually impaired, preferentially through defects in the
photo-receptors, and/or ganglion cells of the retina.  Are such fish
currently available?

I would welcome your suggestions. Thank you for your time and
information.

Best regards
Arthur Bergen
