O peixe-zebra (Danio rerio) encontra a bioética: os princípios éticos dos 10Rs na pesquisa. Ciência Animal Brasileira, Goiânia, v. 23, n. 1, e70884, 2022. Disponível em: https://www.revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/70884.1809-6891http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/20554Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a tropical fish species widely used in research, worldwide. The development of genetically modified animals and the increasing number of zebrafish breeding facilities due to their emerging use in several research fields, opened room for new ethical challenges for research carried out with this species. It is necessary to raise the scientific community’s awareness of the ethical standards and laws in force, on animal research. Thus, the aim of the current study is to describe 10 Rs ethical principles by using zebrafish as model system in research. The classical 3 Rs concerning animal welfare, namely replacement, reduction and refinement; and the added 7 Rs related to scientific (registration, reporting, robustness, reproducibility and relevance) and conduct principles (responsibility, and respect) in zebrafish research are herein presented and critically discussed. The use of these 10 Rs by researchers, institutions and the Animal Ethics Committee is recommended to support regulations, decision-making about and the promotion of zebrafish health and welfare in research.porAcesso AbertoSaúde animalBem-estar animalComitês de ética animalPeixeAnimais de laboratórioAnimal healthAnimal welfareAnimal ethics committeesFishLaboratory animalsArtigo10.1590/1809-6891v22e-70884
