Vet Duties
• UMCES Assurance of Compliance with
the Public Health Service Policy on
Humane Care and Use of Laboratory
Animals • advise on appropriate procedures for use of
finfish in research, review research proposals,
inspect UMCES facilities, and provide annual
training.
• authority to suspend any research found to be
in violation of UMCES or PHS policy.
3
Justification
•
•
•
•
•
Research Goals
Non-animal alternatives
Duplication
Research species
Animal use and pain category
4
Pain and Fish
• sensory receptors are present
• central reception of sensory input is
unclear
• clinical signs of acute and chronic stress
can be observed (cortisol levels, changes
in other health and behavior parameters)
• avoid adverse stimuli (reflex manner)
5
Pain Category
• Category 1 little or momentary pain
(euthanasia, tagging)
• Category 2 potential pain or discomfort
relieved by anesthetic (euthanasia, surgical
procedure)
• Category 3 discomfort or pain which is not
relieved
6
STRESS
7
Causes of Stress
• water quality (O2,
ammonia, nitrite, pH, other
contaminants)
•
•
•
•
•
transportation
netting & handling
temperature
salinity
water hardness
• poor nutrition
• inappropriate
housing conditions
• noise
• lighting
• vibrations
• stocking density
8
Stress Response
•  Sympathetic
nervous system
activation
•  cortisol
•  catecholamines
•  HR, RR
•  serum osmolality
•  glucose
• Immunosuppression
( disease resistance)
•  growth rate
•  reproduction rate
• delayed “capture”
mortality
9
Experimental Procedures
• Experimental design (include statistical
methodology for data analysis and
determination of number of animals to be
used)
• Methods and Materials (describe
specifically any handling procedures)
• Methods for anesthesia and euthanasia
10
Anesthesia
• Consider for painful/stressful procedures and preeuthanasia
• Ice water (transport) - be careful
• Chemical - MS-222, Benzocaine
• Dose is species specific
11
Immersion Anesthesia
12
MS-222
• tricaine methanesulfate, ethyl-manimobenzoate methansulfate, Finquel®
• CNS depressant
• water soluble but acidic (add buffer)
• admin. via bath or recirculating system
• for anesthesia 50-100 mg/L recommended
(sedation vs surgical)
• dose may be species specific - test before
experiment
13
MS-222 con’t
• induction w/in 3 minutes
• recovery w/in 10-15 minutes after removal
• is residual +/- could affect chemical analysis of
tissue
• no known hazards but wear gloves!
• list as chemical hazard in UMCES application
14
Levels of Anesthesia
15
Euthanasia
•
•
•
•
•
•
+/- pre-sedation with MS-222
decapitation
pithing
chemical (MS-222)
requires experience!!!
avoid direct insertion into fixative (alcohol or
formalin)
16
Husbandry Practices
• Briefly describe housing, feeding, etc. (refer to
specific laboratory standard operating procedures)
• Disposition of alive and dead animals
17
Water Quality
18
The Importance of
Good Water Quality
19
• Investigate mortality
in your system
• Basic necropsy
• Know your species
• Seek advice
• Make appropriate
changes

Environmental Safety
•
•
•
•
infectious agents
chemical hazards (include MS-222)
radioisotopes
biohazards
24
ZOONOSIS
• Zoonosis = disease that can be transmitted
from animals to humans (or other animals)
• Anthroponosis = disease that can be
transmitted from humans to animals
• High Risk
– immunosupressed (AIDs, other debilitating disease)
– pregnant
– age
• Exposure (infected water, fish tissue, fish excrement)
– dermal contact via skin abrasion, fissure
– ingestion
25
Zoonotic Diseases
• Potential for disease organisms to spread between
species (fish  human)
• Bacteria - from handling (mycobacterium,
streptococcus, erysipelothrix, vibrio, norcardia,
aeromonas, edwardsiella)
from ingestion (stahylcoccus, clostridium, vibrio,
aeromonas, esherichia, salmonella,
edwardsiella)
• Parasites - primarily from ingestion (nematodes,
cestodes, trematodes, protozoa).
• Toxins - primarily from ingestion (ciguatera,
scombroid, dinoflagellates toxins)

PREVENTION
• Fish
• Know health of your fish
• Proper husbandry/aquaculture
• Minimum - wear gloves when handling
• All Wildlife
• Know the hazards
• Take all necessary “known”precautions
• DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!
