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). Please be sure to read our Guidelines for Submitting Fish first.

• • 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 10 identified, healthy and breedable males.
  • 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 cover the cost of preparation, importation, and shipment of your fish strain to the Resource Center.

The Zebrafish International Resource Center is committed to working with you to ensure successful transition of your valuable fish strain to ZIRC. We will work closely with you throughout this process. If you have comments or suggestions, please use our online form or call (541) 346-6028.
