[Zbrafish] Biosecurity Measures

[Jim Burris]

We have a policy the restricts entry into our facility by  anyone who  
has been in another fish facility or had contact with fish from  
another facility within the last 24 hours.  The idea is that people  
should have at least taken a shower and changed clothes before  
entering our facility.  This policy was created to prevent the  
introduction of any pathogens that could be transported on a persons  
skin and clothing.   I would like to know if other zebrafish  
facilities have a similar policy? If so, were there any specific  
reasons why this policy was implemented?

Best Fishes,
Jim Burris
