New Fish

When getting new fish a few things need to be taken care of to ensure safe transition and acclimation into the lab. Here is a list of steps to follow before and after new fish arrive.

Plumbing

There is some general information on plumbing of lab appliances here!

Further information can be found on the website and the github repositories of the Kao Lab.

Fish Husbandry Sheet

The link to the fish husbandry sheet can be found here. Researchers are required to mark in parameter values in appropriate columns along with their initials and put a X for fish care responsibilities they attended to. It is also required to put in the number of deaths in each tank (0 if no deaths) on each inspection.
At the start of a new month, one needs to save the previous month's data as .pdf and .xlsx files and upload them in this folder.
For paper version of the fish care husbandry sheet please use the following template found here and make sure it is renewed every month.

💡 We follow a strict protocol of labelling husbandry sheets which is as follows: FishHusbandry_YYYY_MM.pdf or FishHusbandry_YYYY_MM.xlsx
