    Refining the life experience of a research zebrafish by Claire Allen
    The zebrafish is an important model organism for many aspects of research.  Few universities in the UK, with animal facilities, lack zebrafish. Managing diverse collections of genetically modified zebrafish lines comes with unique challenges. Husbandry is at the center of this work, but as experimental design and protected work becomes increasingly complex and diverse, so do management challenges. Training and competency are essential to success and the use of Individual Study Plans (ISPs) for all protected, experimental work enables management to assist with experimental design.
