Abstract: The inaugural UK Zebrafish Meeting 2025 (UKZF2025) hosted by the Living Systems Institute (LSI) at the University of Exeter, was held from 10 to 12 September 2025 in Exmouth and Exeter. The organising committee comprised LSI Group Leaders Steffen Scholpp, Soojin Ryu, Nikolas Nikolaou and Yu Hsuan Carol Yang, and the Facility Manager of Exeter's Aquatic Resources Centre, Greg Paull. The event brought together over 150 zebrafish researchers from across the UK to present their latest discoveries, share resources and expertise, and discuss strategies to strengthen the UK zebrafish research community. This Meeting Review highlights the key scientific themes showcased during the meeting, including developmental biology, human disease modelling, toxicology, neuroscience, technology development and alternative fish models. Furthermore, it provides a summary of the community session led by zebrafish facility managers from across the UK, emphasising potential opportunities for enhancing collaboration and resource sharing within the community.
