The   zebrafish   embryo   has   emerged   as   promising 
alternative 
model  for  traditional  in  vivo  developmental  toxicological 
screening due to their advantageous characteristics as their small size 
and  transparency.  In  this  paper,  we  reviewed  the  applicability  of  the 
zebrafish embryo  model in some relevant areas  to human t
oxicology 
as  developmental  toxicity,  cardiovascular  toxicity  and  neurotoxicity 
(behavioral   assessment).   Despite   the   promising   results,   further 
optimization and testing of  more  substances as  well as a harmonized 
methodology is needed to streamline the metho
ds and make the assay 
conducive to medium
-
throughput.
