Abstract
A method for screening of a to-be-analyzed candidate as a skin-whitening agent, includes the steps of: (a) setting a first feature parameter corresponding to a first group of zebrafish that are bred under a predetermined set of breeding conditions; (b) administering the to-be-analyzed candidate to a second group of zebrafish that are bred under the predetermined set of breeding conditions; (c) capturing images of the zebrafish in the second group; (d) determining, from the images captured in step (c), a second feature parameter corresponding to the second group of zebrafish; and (e) concluding that the to-be-analyzed candidate is suitable as a skin-whitening agent if a difference between the first and second feature parameters has statistical significance. A system for implementing the method is also disclosed.
