2025 Zebrafish Husbandry Association Webinars
The Zebrafish Husbandry Reporting & Reproducibility Initiative is a community-driven effort to improve transparency, reproducibility, and standardization by developing a minimal reporting checklist for zebrafish research. Our goal is to establish clear guidelines to ensure key environmental and care parameters are consistently included in publications.
To achieve this, we launched a monthly webinar series in collaboration with key stakeholders, including:
✔ International Zebrafish Society (IZFS)
✔ Journal Editors & Publishers
✔ Research Institutions & Facility Managers
✔ Husbandry Specialists & Scientists
Each 60 min webinar features two expert speakers, including an interactive Q&A and Discussion, culminating in a final round table discussion with Journal Editors.
