Body Condition Scoring for Adult Zebrafish (Danio rerio) [PDF]
Journal of the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science, 2018 Body condition scoring (BCS) is a simple, rapid, noninvasive tool used to assess body condition in animals. In this study, we developed and validated a diagram-based BCS for adult zebrafish (Danio rerio), a popular research model. After receiving 20 min of hands-on training regarding the scoring system, 5 people each rated 95 adult zebrafish.
