The Zebrafish Husbandry course content was developed by a team of thirty-six ZHA members with expertise in optimal zebrafish husbandry practices for the biomedical research setting. The goal of the course is to encourage standardization of husbandry methods and research results. Instructors present the most up-to-date information available on each husbandry topic as well as personal tips from their experience. They will guide participants through husbandry tasks using live zebrafish and/or facility equipment. Participants are divided into small groups to allow each participant to have maximal interaction with instructors and plenty of time for hands-on skill development .

Our very own Brendan Delbos, Eastern Region Sales and Technical Support Representative, will be teaching a course titled "The Biology and Use of Artemia in a Zebrafish Facility". He will cover such topics as why use Artemia, raising them in a lab, and using them as food for zebrafish. The course will include hands-on work under a microscope and decapsulating Artemia cysts.
