The submitting investigator is asked to meet the
following terms and conditions for any strain submitted to and accepted by
the Zebrafish International Resource Center (ZIRC).
You have the authority (or have authorization from your
institution if applicable) to release your fish strain to ZIRC for further
distribution.
You agree that the fish strain is provided without
encumbrances or restrictions that would prevent further distribution by the
ZIRC to qualified and authorized not-for-profit research investigators
requesting this fish strain from the Resource Center.
Note: The fish strain and descendents will be distributed
by ZIRC to teaching and not-for-profit research recipients only, and will not
be permitted to be bred or used for further resale.
ZIRC accepts the fish strain "as is", and you do not
offer any guarantees of any kind.
For each strain, you agree to provide (in one shipment,
5 males and 5 females), identified carriers of breeding age. A minimum of
300 embryos may be accepted in rare cases.
You agree to maintain the strain in your laboratory until
the Resource Center has successfully bred and recovered the strain in the next
generation.
You agree to take responsibility for the cost of
preparation and shipment of your fish strain to the Resource Center.
We at the Zebrafish International Resource Center are
committed to working with you to ensure successful transition of your valuable
fish strain to the Center. We will work closely with you throughout this
process. If you have comments or suggestions, please use our
