Zebrafish are common models for research into [[fish farming]], including [[fish pathogen|pathogens]]<ref name="Llewellyn-et-al-2014">{{cite journal |last1=Llewellyn |first1=Martin S. |last2=Boutin |first2=Sébastien |last3=Hoseinifar |first3=Seyed Hossein |last4=Derome |first4=Nicolas |title=Teleost microbiomes: the state of the art in their characterization, manipulation and importance in aquaculture and fisheries |journal=[[Frontiers in Microbiology]] |publisher=[[Frontiers Media|Frontiers]] |volume=5 |date=2014-06-02 |page=207 |issn=1664-302X |doi=10.3389/fmicb.2014.00207 |s2cid=13050990 |pmid=24917852 |pmc=4040438 |doi-access=free}}<!--- Published by Frontiers but very highly cited including by Ringø et al., 2016, Ghanbari et al., 2015, Wang et al., 2018, etc. ---></ref><ref name="Dahm-Geisler-2006">{{cite journal |last1=Dahm |first1=Ralf |last2=Geisler |first2=Robert |title=Learning from Small Fry: The Zebrafish as a Genetic Model Organism for Aquaculture Fish Species |journal=Marine Biotechnology |publisher=[[European Society for Marine Biotechnology]] (ESMB) + [[Japanese Society for Marine Biotechnology]] (JSMB) + [[Australia New Zealand Marine Biotechnology Society]] (ANZMBS) ([[Springer Science+Business Media|Springer]]) |volume=8 |issue=4 |date=2006-04-25 |issn=1436-2228 |doi=10.1007/s10126-006-5139-0 |pages=329–345 |s2cid=23994075 |pmid=16670967 |bibcode=2006MarBt...8..329D}}</ref><ref name="Ribas-Piferrer-2014">{{cite journal |last1=Ribas |first1=Laia |last2=Piferrer |first2=Francesc |title=The zebrafish (''Danio rerio'') as a model organism, with emphasis on applications for finfish aquaculture research |journal=[[Reviews in Aquaculture]] |publisher=[[Wiley publishing|Wiley]] |volume=6 |issue=4 |date=2013-07-31 |issn=1753-5123 |doi=10.1111/raq.12041 |pages=209–240 |s2cid=84107971}}</ref> and [[fish parasite|parasites]]<ref name="Llewellyn-et-al-2014" /><ref name="Ribas-Piferrer-2014" /> causing yield loss or spreading to adjacent wild populations.

This usefulness is less than it might be due to ''Danio''{{'}}s [[taxonomic]] distance from the most common aquaculture species.<ref name="Dahm-Geisler-2006" /> Because the most common are [[salmonid]]s and [[cod]] in the [[Protacanthopterygii]] and [[sea bass]], [[sea bream]],
[[tilapia]], and [[flatfish]], in the [[Percomorpha]], zebrafish results may not be perfectly applicable.<ref name="Dahm-Geisler-2006" /> Various other [[model species|models]] {{endash}} Goldfish (''[[Carassius auratus]]''), Medaka (''[[Oryzias latipes]]''), Stickleback (''[[Gasterosteus aculeatus]]''), Roach (''[[Rutilus rutilus]]''), Pufferfish (''[[Takifugu rubripes]]''), Swordtail (''[[Xiphophorus hellerii]]'') {{endash}} are less used normally but would be closer to particular target species.<ref name="Ribas-Piferrer-2014" />

The only exception are the [[Carp]] (including Grass Carp, ''[[Ctenopharyngodon idella]]'')<ref name="Dahm-Geisler-2006" /> and Milkfish (''[[Chanos chanos]]'')<ref name="Ribas-Piferrer-2014" /> which are quite close, both being in the [[Cyprinidae]]. However it should also be noted that ''Danio'' consistently proves to be a useful model for mammals in many cases and there is dramatically more [[genetic distance]] between them than between ''Danio'' and any farmed fish.<ref name="Dahm-Geisler-2006" />
