Mandatory insurance:
17,50€ (Students who formally enroll in their own Postgraduate courses, Continuous Training and Training Program, will also be included the amount of mandatory accident insurance and travel assistance for USC students, as established in current regulations (Council Agreement Government June 29, 2009) and will be issued together with the 1st liquidation of registration. Except in the courses that are 100% virtuous, considered these by academic year; and in the cases in which the students have paid this same insurance in a USC degree in the current academic year.)
Access requirements
The course will be open to researchers and any professional who demonstrates previous experience in research with zebrafish or in the field of fish pathology. Graduates/Graduates in Veterinary Medicine will have priority. Veterinary or Biology students will also be admitted.

Objectives
The main objective of this course is to train participants in the health and management of zebrafish in the research context. This objective is divided into others:- Familiarize participants with the general aspects of zebrafish used in research: anatomy, biology, management, physiology, histology, welfare and legal framework.
- Deepen the study of the main diseases that affect zebrafish in animal experimentation facilities, as well as the different monitoring and diagnosis techniques applied to their study.
- Provide practical skills, such as the administration of anesthesia/euthanasia, clinical observation and correct sampling, so that participants can apply them in real situations both in the clinical and research context.
The course will be useful for professionals (researchers, biologists, veterinarians, and technicians) who work, or who wish to start working with experimental animals (fish), companies, professionals interested in the clinical practice of aquatic animals, and veterinary students. and biology that have a clear vocation in this field.
Career options
The course brings the renowned professor Michael Kent, a specialist in zebrafish pathology and author of numerous works in this field, who will teach a large part of the theoretical classes (in English). In addition, five USC professors, specialists in aquatic animal health from the Department of Anatomy, Animal Production and Veterinary Clinical Sciences, will also teach: Roberto Bermúdez Pose (tenured professor at the University and European diploma in ECAAH), Mª Isabel Quiroga Berdeal, ( University professor and European diploma in ECAAH), Sonia Vázquez (contracted professor with a doctorate), Ana Paula Losada García (assistant professor with a doctor and European diploma in ECAAH) and Ana Manuela de Azevedo (assistant professor with a doctor and European diploma in ECAAH).This is a theoretical-practical course. In the theoretical module, basic aspects of the anatomy, biology, physiology, management and clinical pathology of zebrafish will be addressed. The most common diseases that can affect fish in animal experimentation facilities will also be presented. The state of research on the management and health of zebrafish used in animal experimentation facilities, the legal framework and the biosafety measures that must be taken in these centers will also be addressed. On the other hand, the importance of pathological anatomy as a diagnostic tool will be shown, through the presentation of practical cases shown through abundant iconography.
The practical part of the course will be diveided into two activities. In the first one, participants will have the opportunity to study practical cases, using the necessary methodology to evaluate and monitor live fish and perform anesthesia and euthanasia. In addition, attendees will perform non-lethal diagnostic techniques, necropsies and sample collection for different studies. In the second part, the collection of zebrafish samples applied to scientific research for histopathological, transcriptomic, immunological, biochemical, microbiological, enzymatic and hematological studies will also be addressed, in a practical way. Likewise, they will be able to evaluate different practical cases under the microscope, with the aim of acquiring basic notions of cytology and histopathology in fish, learning about some of their most common diseases and others that are not so common. All of this will allow us to better understand the main differences in the response to diseases of this species compared to mammals and to know the most frequent lesions in organic systems that may be of diagnostic importance and in the context of research.
