Ricefish farming system has been practiced in Southeast Asia since it was introduced from India 1,500 year ago (Tamura, 1961).
Although the current techniques to ricefish farming system can be modified to improve production, it is important to note that fish is secondary to rice, which is still the main component of the system.

The creature, with dark stripes that contain fluorescence genes taken from red coral, was displayed publicly at the biotechnology exhibition held recently in Taipei, the Taikong Corp. said in a statement.
Taikong first developed a green fluorescent ricefish using jellyfish genes in a 2001 co-operation project with National Taiwan University fisheries scientist H.J. Tsai.
The company has begun marketing the green fluorescent ricefish since May, after spending two years researching and developing technology to ensure the fish is completely sterile.

In contrast, the newly released GloFish™ were developed by gene splicing in the lab.
The Zebrafish, along with the Ricefish (Medaka sp.), have long been popular as scientific research subjects, with millions bred for experimentation and study.
Some years back, scientists found that by splicing a gene from certain other species, usually jellyfish or corals, they could create Zebrafish that fluoresced in the presence of specific water-borne toxins, a useful tool for pollution studies.
