Zebrafish is becoming a powerful vertebrate model for studies of human genetics and hematology. The biological characteristics of zebrafish organism, as well as its potential model for human blood developmental biology and hematologic malignancies are discussed. At last, we discussed the prospects of zebrafish in the clinical and basic research of hematological neoplasms.
