Abstract
Zebrafish are widely used and increasingly adopted in developmental biology, disease modeling and tissue regeneration research. However, a freely available and user-friendly zebrafish husbandry management application has been lacking. Here, we developed an open-source fish management application, referred to as VMS-Fish (https://shinypath.wustl.edu/vmsfishdb/), to accurately track and manage zebrafish stocks. The VMS-Fish application includes default user logging and exclusive administrative privileges, making it a robust and error-free option for individual users, small laboratories and large consortia managers. With easy online and offline installation options, VMS-Fish provides an intuitive and freely available resource for zebrafish researchers worldwide.
