[Zbrafish] Suggestions for fish room entry-ways

Hi Marcus,

We had an issue with "pond organisms" turning up in one of our 3 fish
rooms. To prevent further contamination, or spreading, we
implemented foot baths using a broad spectrum disinfectant (we have a
lot of foot traffic in our halls). They're set just inside each
doorway for folks to use on their way in and out. There is minimal
maintenance involved and I believe it's got to be part of our
bio-security protocol. I'm surprised that an investigator would
rather opt for shoe covers? I'm interested to see what inventive
solutions are out there, but if nothing practical comes up, I would
have a discussion with the investigator as to why foot baths need to
be part of the facility's bio-security.

Good luck,
Judy
