SESSION ONE SYNTHESIS: PERSPECTIVES ON ANIMAL WELFARE CONSIDERATIONS BETWEEN LABORATORY ANIMAL AND FREE-RANGING FISH AND WILDLIFE FIELD RESEARCH Session Chair: Anne Maglia, University of Massachusetts Lowell Maglia provided a recap of the session agenda and noted that Session One began with a brief history of wildlife research-related regulations by Sikes, who identified a number of high-level challenges that were referenced throughout the first day of the workshop. Maglia was the next speaker in the session and provided an overview of the National Science Foundation (NSF)

Keeping the regulations grounded in biology, with a consistent dialogue between regulators and scientists, can help to encourage ethically sound research and scientific advancement to move forward. Baeten talked about the challenges for wildlife reviews within the National Park Service, including how to determine whether a particular activity requires IACUC review.

Speakers discussed the risk of introduction and spread of wildlife diseases inadvertently, as well as the impacts on biodiversity and species conservation. The importance of dialogue and partnership among the PI, the IACUC members, and environmental health and safety or OSH committees when generating the appropriate biosafety protocols for wildlife research activities was emphasized.

Challenges at the micro level include animal diseases or zoonotic diseases; trauma; euthanasia and carcass disposition; exposures to chemicals, allergens, and toxins; and poisonous or venomous species both in the laboratory and in natural settings. In response to urgent conservation threats, for example, with Bsal, Bd, and WNS, coordinated disease research and management activities entail biosafety protocols to help guide the work and to prevent further pathogen spread.

Klein closed the session with a discussion of other topics, including the value of creating a standardized IACUC protocol form to aid wildlife researchers. Shriver said that while there is unlikely to be a one-size-fits-all solution, researchers and IACUCs could benefit from some level of standardization.
