1-Literature searches

Literature searches help to:

identify possible non-animal alternatives to all or part of the proposed study
prevent unnecessary repetition of animal studies
identify efforts to reduce animal numbers
identify refinements to procedures in the planned study

Assess the relevance of the species to be used, its biology and suitability to answer the experimental questions with the least suffering, and its welfare needs.

General principles

For fish researchers

Literature searches should be well documented, including information on:

The justification for the choice of species and (where applicable) the strain.
Evaluation of the biology, behaviour and welfare needs of the species to be used
