Danio rerio strain:AB Transcriptome or Gene expression

Objectives: Our objective was to evaluate single cell protein (SCP) for production of open-source standardized diets with defined heath characteristics for the zebrafish research community.Methods: We completed a 14-week feeding trial using juvenile fish 31 days post-fertilization (dpf) (10 tanks per diet, 14 fish per tank) with formulated diets containing either a typical fish protein ingredient or a novel bacterial SCP source. At the end of the feeding trial, growth metrics, body composition, reproductive success, and liver transcriptomics (RNAseq on female fish only with confirmatory rtPCR) were performed for each diet treatment.
