In late 2025 and early 2026, InSEAS facility managers and the clinical veterinarian created a document that conveniently contained all of the necessary steps and forms that researchers need to complete before bringing animals into the InSEAS facility. The document is called the InSEAS Fish Forms Package.
A master copy (single file) of this document can be accessed here InSEAS fish forms package FINAL updated Feb 18 2026.
For ease of editing, printing and adding forms to your AUP’s, we have broken down the master copy into separate files. These files can be found below and HERE in "General Aquatics and Staff" tab .

* These 3 documents (i.e. Water Quality Monitoring Record Sheet, Fish Health Monitoring Record Sheet, and, Monthly Fish Audit Log) are referred to as the Standardized Set of Monitoring Sheets for the InSEAS Facility. These are ACC approved monitoring sheets that researchers can use for their animal care monitoring. If PI’s and researchers want to use their own set of monitoring sheets, they must first be approved by the ACC on your AUP before putting them into use in the animal holding rooms.
