ZEBRA FISH
Zebra fish are freshwater fish belonging to the minnow
family of the order Cypriniformes – Native to South Asia.
Zebra fish – Danio rerio, are gaining popularity in basic behavioural brain research, behaviour genetics, and in translational studies because they offer a cheap and efficient alternative to rodents and guinea pigs.

The researchers placed Zebra fish embryos in dishes containing
fluoxetine, which
is sold under the brand name
‘Prozac’, for six days…
Biologists at the University of Ottawa
have discovered exposing fish embryos
to Prozac affected the
aquatic creatures’ ability to manage
stress for generations, prompting a
call for further research into the
lasting effects of this

This may be a cause for concern given the high
prescription rates of fluoxetine to pregnant women!

COMMENTS!
“…Excessive fluoride in natural water ecosystem has the
potential to detrimentally affect thyroid endocrine
system, but little is known of such effects or
underlying mechanisms in fish…“
NOTE: if you have an aquarium and use
fluoridated tap water, remember as
you add more water you will
increase the fluoride concentration
as fluoride the does NOT
evaporate with the water.
…indeed, salmon are unaffected by natural
1 ppm fluoride in ocean water where calcium
is extremely high but are narcotized by industrial
fluoride in soft water at only 0.3 ppm (Damkaer & Dey)
Millions of Salmon have instinctively know this for
thousands of years, that is why they go to so
much trouble to swim up rivers to lay
their eggs – in fluoride free water.
[Sea water contains fluoride.]
University of Oregon
Professor Paul Engelking says
fish and fluoride don’t mix.
