Due to the rapid growth of the zebrafish model over the past years, Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUC) have been increasingly required to approve and inspect these research animal housing and procedure areas more so than before. Without individuals knowledgeable about the required care of this model on the IACUC and present during these site visit, it can be difficult to have a reliably fruitful inspection result. In this regard, preparing for and conducting appropriate IACUC site visits and inspections is an institutional team effort. This webinar series will discuss the planning and preparations necessary in order to have a successful IACUC inspection of your zebrafish facility.
