台湾地区斑马鱼研究起始于1996年, 在经历了约8年的萌芽期(1996~2003年)之后, 目前已进入到茁壮期(2004~现今), 现今全台湾共有83个实验室使用斑马鱼作为实验材料, 台湾地区斑马鱼研究社群的研究主题可大致分成3大类: (1) 胚胎发育; (2)人类疾病; (3) 生物技术。累积至今与斑马鱼相关论文发表总数已达到342篇。自2010年起, 台湾也成立了两个斑马鱼种质资源库(TZCAS与ZeTH)。在种质资源库的充分协助下, 目前许多医院的临床医师、工程与生物信息相关领域的研究人员, 也开始加入斑马鱼研究社群进行跨领域的整合性研究, 成为现今台湾地区斑马鱼研究的一大特色。
The initiation time for zebrafish research in Taiwan was around 1996 and experienced eight years (1996-2003) to establish the fundamental base. From 2004 onwards, zebrafish research project and population in Taiwan is exponentially increasing to a total number of 83 independent research laboratories at this moment. Three major research topics of developmental biology, human disease, and biotechnology are conducted by zebrafish community in Taiwan. Up to now, 342 scientific refereed papers have been published by Taiwan researchers. By 2010, two zebrafish stock centers of TZCAS and ZeTH have been established to provide fish resources to zebrafish community. By the fully support of two zebrafish stock centers, attending physicians and experts in the fields of engineering and bioinformatics are working together with zebrafish people and obtained fruitful results in zebrafish researches in recent years.
