Fertilized egg test method and fertilized egg test device for fish

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an embryo inspection method of a zebra fish capable of realizing a practically usable inspection accuracy and inspection time.SOLUTION: An excitation light source 3 is provided obliquely above a fish egg tray 2 arranged with a number of wells 20 accommodating one embryo 10 of a zebra fish together with the water, and a fluorescence detector 4 is provided immediately above the fish embryo tray 2. A highly accurate determination between a normal egg and an abnormal egg can be made based on an optical spectrum intensity of a peak wavelength or a narrow channel alone in the vicinity thereof from among the fluorescence spectra acquired from the embryo of the zebra fish after five to eight hours elapsed from the conception using an inspection device for inputting a signal voltage outputted from the fluorescence detector 4 into a determination part 5 for the embryo. The high-speed and high accuracy quality determination can be realized using a multi-well plate.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
