Fish, particularly zebrafish, are widely used as an animal model in research due to their high reproductive rate, external fertilization, and transparency of embryos. They are often used to study the development of various organs, including the heart and the brain. Zebrafish are also used to model various human diseases, such as cancer, neurological disorders, and heart diseases. The fish model allows researchers to study genetic and environmental factors that contribute to disease development and potential therapies.
