My work in Italy is discussed in the two publications: Annual fishes of the genus Nothobranchius as a model system for aging research (Genade et al, Aging Cell (2005) 4 , pp223–233) and Resveratrol Prolongs Lifespan and Retards the Onset of Age-Related Markers in a Short-Lived Vertebrate (Valenzano et al Current Biology (2006) 16, pp1–5). Abstracts are available on Pubmed. Any questions, feel free to ask.
How the fish were raised in captivity is discussed in the document: LABORATORY MANUAL FOR CULTURING N. furzeri (113kb) by T. Genade.
