      The principles of three Rs-REPLACEMENT, REDUCTION, and REFINEMENT-govern the protection and use of animals, including fish, for research purposes in the European Union and Norway. In this paper, we discuss some straightforward steps to simplify the delivery of these principles at the idea stage and adapt some of these examples for conducting fish trials related to health and welfare.
