Randomized trial establishes a standardized UCS protocol in adult zebrafish, enhancing stress research's reliability and comparability.

The aim is to standardize the unpredictable chronic stress protocol for adult zebrafish to improve research quality.
Developed a 14-day UCS protocol involving various stressors administered twice daily.
Included stressors like tank changes, net chasing, overcrowding, low water levels, and temperature fluctuations.
Designed to mimic unpredictable stress commonly experienced by humans.
Enhanced reproducibility and reliability of UCS research findings.
Facilitated better applicability for testing drugs and therapeutic strategies.
Provided detailed protocol that can be replicated across studies.

Gallas‐Lopes et al. (2026) studied this question.
