| Abstract |
Rivulus marmoratus is a naturally self-fertilizing cyprinodontid fish inhabiting mangrove marshes throughout the Caribbean. As a result of internal self-fertilization this oviparous species is composed of a number of isogenic, homozygous lines (clones), several of which have been identified by histocompatibility experiments and maintained in laboratory culture for over 30 years. Simplified culture and handling methods are given and data are presented on the reproduction, growth and development of rivulus under laboratory culture as a prelude to the evaluation of its potential as a bioassay animal. Several types of bioassays were run and evaluated using rivulus: behavioral, carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, toxicity, and mutagenicity. Advantages and disadvantages of using rivulus for such bioassays are discussed. |
