more to zebrafish reproduction than good water quality and putting a male and
female together (as many would you have believe). Getting these
fish to spawn isn't rocket science, but it does take careful consideration of a
few key biological and behavioral attributes of the animal to be able to work
through the occasional lulls in production.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>Good afternoon,<BR><BR>I was wondering if you had any suggestions, or
methods that will get zebrafish to mate more. I have already placed my zebrafish
in the best environmental conditions, but they just don't seem to mate. So I was
wondering if there were any hormonal treatment methods that can be used to
influence the zebrafish to mate more?<BR><BR>Thank you,<BR><BR>Hadie Khodabakhsh
<BR><BR>(In case you are wondering, I am a research associate at the zebrafish
lab of Dr. Guo at UCSF Mission Bay)<BR>
