Abstract
To promote application of the fruits of zebrafish research, we need to cultivate understanding of the use of zebrafish not only in the research community but also among the general public. On Open Days at our institute, the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES), our zebrafish group exhibits our research activity to the public. I explain here how we enable visitors to observe zebrafish embryogenesis under stereomicroscopes. Two kinds of materials handed out to participants are introduced and included: a zebrafish embryogenesis flip book and a mini guide to zebrafish. These materials serve as tools for our outreach activity and to promote further understanding of zebrafish research.
