Species Overview

Barramundi

The barramundi is a large, catadromous predator native to the Indo-West Pacific. It is a protandrous hermaphrodite, beginning life as male and transitioning to female after several years. Highly prized in both sport fishing and aquaculture.

Zebra Danio

The zebrafish is a small cyprinid native to South Asia's freshwater streams. Its distinctive blue-and-gold horizontal stripes and hardy nature make it a popular aquarium fish. It is also the most widely used vertebrate model organism in genetic research.
