Abstract

The Sulawesi Medaka Fish (Oryzias celebensis) is an endemic fish that only exists in the South Sulawesi region. The use of Sulawesi medaka fish as experimental animals as well as Medaka fish or rice fish originating from Japan has begun to develop at this time. Research has been carried out to see the comparison between the two types of fish. Observations between the two types of fish were carried out by observing the morphology and histology of various organs. The differences that were found were not too significant, so it is possible to use the Sulawesi Medaka fish, especially as model animals, as has been done with the Medaka fish.
