Hello,
The data from the track Affy Zebrafish has a primary identifier of 
qName. In the Table browser , checking out "View table schema", I can 
see that no tables will link from this track to the gene name as 
displayed in the RefSeq track. Instead, an overlap comparison must be done.

There are three methods to choose from: http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/

1) In Table browser, create a custom track containing the Affy Zebrafish 
consensus sequences of interest. starting with RefSeq Genes, perform an 
intersection query using the custom track, and output all records from 
Affy Zebrafish with the overlap specified, in the output linking in the 
refFlat.geneName field. The downside to this query is that which Affy 
Zebrafish consensus captured which refFlat.geneName is not recorded.

2) In Table browser, perform an interval intersection using Galaxy. 
Create a custom tracks containing track coordinates (one containing the 
geneName and one containing the Affy consensus sequence), select output 
format BED, and send to Galaxy. There, convert the file format to 
interval and join based on genomic overlap. Identifiers from both 
datasets will be preserved.
Instructions/FAQ help for Galaxy is available here:  
http://g2.trac.bx.psu.edu/

3) Using a combination of Table browser and unix tools: download the 
appropriate tables, examining the contents in the Table browser to learn 
the file names and structure. join the data based on genomic overlap 
using your own script or one of ours. FAQ to the source tree utility 
set: http://genomewiki.cse.ucsc.edu/index.php/Kent_source_utilities

Thank you,
