Developments and future directions in regulatory fish acute toxicity testing

The NC3Rs hosted a webinar in June 2022 to showcase ongoing and novel initiatives that replace, reduce and/or refine fish acute toxicity studies. The webinar featured presentations on novel approaches to support replacement of the use of late life stage animals, and a retrospective data analysis project to identify potential reductions in regulatory fish testing.
