Abstract
Oryzias dancena (Beloniformes; Teleostei), is a euryhaline teleost that mainly inhabits the brackish or freshwater of river mouths and estuaries around the Bay of Bengal and the Malay Peninsula. It also has a short interval between generations, with spawning possibilities just 60 days after hatching. The aim of this paper is to provide a review for the study of O. dancena based on the studies collected so far, and could form the basis for a wide category of researches including zootoxy, cytogenetics, anesthesia, tagging, salinity tolerance, reproduction, fish disease, chromosome engineering, and trnasgenesis in order to highlight the recent progress in different fields of study using this species.
