RE: New address of distributor of coho salmon ovarian fluid.

Hi All,
Some researchers wishing to purchase coho salmon ovarian fluid for use in holding zebrafish eggs, have contacted us as they have been unable to contact the distributor at the address I gave in a previous posting. The distributor has moved.

Old address:

New address:
Zoion Research Inc. is the parent company to SeaTech, and may be the name you hear if you contact their telephone answering machine.

I am not pushing coho ovarian fluid for any monetary benefit. We supply it to the distributor at no charge. The short period of time in which eggs can normally be microinjected prior to fertilization may be an impediment for important zebrafish research (e.g. transgenics). Thus, our motivation for supplying coho salmon ovarian fluid is that we wish, even in a small way, to contribute to the development of the genetic and developmental components of zebrafish as a model system.

Regards,
Graham
