Should Brine shrimp bioassay require ethical approval?

03 March 2018 1 6K Report

I am thinking about conducting a brine shrimp lethality bioassay test on local medicinal plant. Does this test require ethical approval? Will i have to adhere to NIH guidelines?

Thank you.

Dennis Mazur

I would contact the NIH directly and ask them directly.
