Abstract

In 2022, the production of fisheries and aquaculture reached 187 millions tonnes in Turkey. Three different fish species (sea bass, sea bream and rainbow trout) have  been becoming important in this sector growing 16% in the last 10 years.

Stem cells are classified as undifferentiated cells. They have the potential for self-renewal after becoming the specialized cells. The first study is begun in 1992 on zebra fish, Danio rerio. In this study, it is going to give some information on definition, classification, resources, characteristics, application areas and explanation of some previous studies about stem cells.
