China's space station hosts 43-day zebrafish study, marking progress in space ecosystem tech.

China has achieved a new record with a successful 43-day zebrafish experiment aboard its space station. The closed aquatic ecosystem saw zebrafish complete their life cycle stages, marking progress in space ecosystem technology. Researchers observed the fish exhibited unusual behavior in microgravity, such as upside-down swimming. Water samples have been returned to Earth for further study, with potential contributions to life science research and drug development.
