Fish Cell Culture

Fish-derived cell lines have been established as promising tools for studying many critical issues in aquaculture, including fish growth, disease, reproduction, genetics, and biotechnology. Fish cell lines are easier to maintain under flexible temperature regimes and hypoxic conditions, making them superior to mammalian cell lines as in vitro tools. Compared with mammalian cell culture, fish cell culture has several advantages in terms of adaptation to a wide temperature range, higher tolerance to hypoxia, and easier maintenance of cell culture for a long time. Great excitement has been observed in establishing and characterizing new fish cell lines representing different fish species and tissue types. Fish cell lines have great potential as model systems for the study of fish diseases, immunology, biotechnology, nutrition, and toxicity testing of chemicals and therapeutics used in aquaculture, as they are ideal surrogates for whole organisms, involving increasingly dubious ethical issues. In vitro models have been used to study viral replication and genetics and for the production of experimental vaccines for aquaculture.

Our Services

Let us provide you with the high-quality fish cells and tissues you need for your research, shifting your focus from cell production to discovery. CD BioSciences simplifies your research with a reliable supply of fish cells for your experiments and high-throughput screening work.

• Fish Cell Lines Characterization
  CD BioSciences offers standard protocols for cell line identification with standard methods such as cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) barcoding, short tandem repeat (STR) analysis, karyotyping, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) Analysis, use of species-specific primers, whole genome sequencing (WGS), etc., are described as ideal methods for identifying and maintaining high-quality fish cell lines.
• Fish Cell Culture
  Fish cell cultures may contain the following three types of cells:
• Stem cells culture
• Precursor cells culture
• Differentiated cells culture
• Establishment of Fish Cell Lines from Different Tissues
  Our scientists established cell lines from normal tissues i.e., skin gills, heart, liver, kidney, spleen, swim bladder, brain etc. Currently, a continuous embryonic cell line and a pluripotent embryonic stem cell line have been established.
• Cell Lines Scale-Up
  Our cell culture scale-up process enables us to meet high demands while maintaining sample quality.
