Does the PHS Policy apply to larval forms of amphibians and fish?

Yes, larval forms of fish and amphibians have vertebrae and are covered by the PHS Policy. • Does the PHS Policy apply to animal research that is conducted in the field? If the activities are PHS-supported and involve vertebrate animals then the IACUC is responsible for oversight in accord with PHS Policy. IACUCs must know where field studies will be located, what procedures will be involved, and be sufficiently familiar with the nature of the habitat to assess the potential impact on the animal subjects. Studies with the potential to impact the health or safety of personnel or the animal’s environment may need IACUC oversight, even if described as purely observational or behavioral. When capture, handling, confinement, transportation, anesthesia, euthanasia, or invasive procedures are involved, the IACUC must ensure that proposed studies are in accord with the Guide. The IACUC must also ensure compliance with the requirements of pertinent state, national and international wildlife reg
