Guidelines for the Use of Fishes in Research
The AFS, AIFRB, ASIH project to develop new "Guidelines for the Use of Fishes
in Research" has been completed. The Guidelines are available from the
American Fisheries Society, either online, or in printed copy. The address
below takes interested parties directly to the electronic version of the
Guidelines:
http://www.fisheries.org/html/Public_Affairs/Sound_Science/Guidelines2004.shtml
Or go to the American Fisheries Society home page
www.fisheries.org and click on
Public Policy and then Sound Science.The Guidelines were developed
primarily to assist researchers in their dealings with Institutional Animal
Care and Use Committees. The AFS periodical Fisheries
and the WAS magazine World Aquaculture will carry
commentaries on the Guidelines in the March issues.
