Registration is Open for the CCAC’s Webinar on Fish Welfare!
The second webinar in the Canadian Council on Animal Care (CCAC)’s Virtual Learning Series, Fish Welfare and Aquatic Facilities, is now open for registration.
For several years, fish have figured in the top three most used animals in Canadian science. Unfortunately, they are also at the centre of many animal welfare incidents. Fish welfare extends far beyond the well‑being of the fish themselves; increasing fish welfare is also a critical part of reliable and reproducible science. This session will focus on best practices related to maintaining a healthy aquatic environment and help participants understand the stressors that affect fish so that they may ensure the highest standards of care for fish welfare. This will be followed by a general discussion and Q&A.
