Novel brominated flame retardants (NBFRs), including 1,2-bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)ethane (BTBPE), are emerging endocrine-disrupting chemicals, though their direct effects on female gamete maturation remain insufficiently characterized. In this study, we used a refined zebrafish oocyte in vitro maturation (IVM) model integrating germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) assessment with real-time, image-based oocyte diameter quantification. The workflow incorporated donor-condition optimization and diameter-based quality control during sorting. Oocytes from donors 4 to 5 months post-fertilization (mpf) showed more consistent diameter dynamics at the dish level than those from donors 3 to 4 mpf. Mixed-sex co-housing was associated with higher GVBD and larger Δdiameter than separated housing, although this comparison should be considered preliminary. Under DHP induction, BTBPE (1–1000 nM) consistently suppressed GVBD and attenuated maturation-associated diameter increases, with a non-monotonic-like response pattern. These findings indicate that BTBPE impairs oocyte maturation competence in vitro and supports real-time morphometric tracking as a practical QC component for zebrafish IVM workflows.
