DESCRIPTION

This RSPCA Science group report aims to improve the welfare of zebrafish by:

• facilitating understanding of zebrafish behaviour and thus a better appreciation of their requirements;
  

• highlighting current potential welfare and ethical concerns relating to the breeding, supply, housing and care of zebrafish; arriving, where possible, at consensus based on available evidence and sound scientific argument for appropriate environmental and care conditions for keeping zebrafish in the laboratory environment;
  

• providing recommendations for improving health, welfare and egg quality , for reducing the potential for stress and suffering andfor reducing the number of animals in areas where current knowledge is sparse or inconclusive, stimulating discussion and research to identify ‘good practice’

.
