what is a casper fish
Meet the Casper Fish. The Casper fish, a transparent zebra fish (Danio), was developed at the Childrenâs Hospital Boston for use in cancer research. Casper fish are the result of a cross between 2 mutant zebra fish, nacre and roy, that produce offspring with transparent skin and scales.These transparent tissues allow scientists to see how cancerous cells spread through the fishâs body as it grows and develops.arolina currently offers 2 kits in 2 versions each for the science classroom that feature adult Casper and zebra fish: the Casper Fish Observation Kits, recommended for students in grades Kâ4, and the Anatomy and Physiology of Casper Fish Kits, recommended for students in grades 5â12.
