Ontology describing the anatomy of Danio rerio from a single cell to adult fish. The namespace of the ontology is zebrafish_anatomical_ontology the prefix is ZFA. Updates to ZFA are released every other month. A subset of the ZFS http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/zfs.obo is packaged with this ontology.
The caudal vein at earlier stages is part of the caudal vein plexus. So if there isn't a reason you can't use caudal vein plexus then this will be closed.
The caudal vein ( ZFA:0000180 , ZDB-TERM-100331-169 ) has a start-stage that is currently listed as Larval:Day 4
However, a recent paper* shows that the caudal vein has formed by about 54 hpf, within stage Long-pec (48-60h).
Therefore, I would like to request changing the start-stage for caudal vein to Long-pec (48-60h)
