Аннотация:
The article presents information on the use of fish of the Danio rerio species (Danio rerio) as an object of research in the field of experimental narcology. Possible models of acute and prolonged alcohol intoxication are given, as well as a description of behavioral research methods that are widely used to assess the effects of ethanol on the body. In addition, due to the lack of information in the Russian writer, the work contains information on the conditions of keeping and breeding Danio rerio fish. This information can be useful both to researchers who conduct their research in the field of narcology, and for researchers from other areas of biomedical sciences who plan to conduct their research on the presented model object.
