This organism has lots of intended purposes. When compared to the other organisms, it has some advantages and disadvantages on the use of toxicology studies. One of the most important advantages is that thanks to the automatic high-scale scans, it can be performed to scan for toxicity of hundreds or even thousands of substances at the same time.
