Declarations
:
: The activities performed in the current research (fasting and sacrifice) are included in the article 1.5f of the Council Directive 2010/63/EU regarding the protection of animals used for experimental purposes, as they are considered practices not likely to cause pain, suffering, distress, or lasting harm equivalent to, or higher than, that caused by the introduction of a needle. Therefore, there was no need to have a specific approval by the competent Spanish authority to complete these experiments. Nevertheless, fish were sacrificed by personnel qualified in animal experimentation, in accordance Spanish Ministerial Order ECC/566/2015.
