: The protocol mentioned in the study does not involve any slaughtering of fish and the fish was not collected from any protected area. A portion of the tail fin from a single individual was sufficient to carry out all the experiments and fish was released back to the wild. <i>E. canarensis</i>, though endangered, is an edible fish not protected by any law. Hence no permission was required from the state of Karnataka and Gov. of India for collection. The fish was collected from an open fishing area with the help of local fishermen.
