Tecniplast Aquatics Workshop at Celasc 2023

An interesting pre congress workshop will be organized at the CELASC 2023 (www.celasc.org) with the title “A day with zebrafish, one of the fastest growing models in laboratory animal research”

The workshop (https://www.celasc.org/scientific-programme/) will be from 9.00 AM to 01.00 PM, on 29th of May.

Speakers will offer an overview on Zebrafish, one of the main aquatic species used as laboratory animal models all over the world. The scientific applications of Zebrafish, otherwise called Danio rerio, are constantly increasing and the main ones will be covered by top level scientists. The workshop will give particular attention to their husbandry and maintenance seeking to identify the critical physical and chemical water quality parameters which need to be constantly checked.

Those animals totally rely on water: it’s becoming imperative to define the standards for their care.

The European Community has recently came up with specific guidelines, a very interesting and complete set of information where specific provisions for zebrafish are taken very much into account.

Housing systems are improving and reliability has reached great levels, including automation and constant quality parameters adjustment. On top of the above, during this workshop, zebrafish colonies environmental and health monitoring programs will be discussed, which is currently a very hot topic.

Participation is limited, so book your seat, by downloading the registration form from the CELASC website!
