Consideration should betaken to the specific conditions of the region in which your work is being conducted, and modifications to procedures made accordingly to ensure the best welfare of the animal and safety of the project participants. Any modifications required should be outlined in the project application. Consideration should particularly be given to the weather conditions of the Northern Territory and the presence of extreme hazards such as crocodiles.  \nThe CDU AEC approves the following SOP with the below amendments/conditions:  \n• Traps are to be checked within 2 hours of sunrise (not 3 hours as referenced in the SOP) .  \n• Ants can be particularly problematic for animal welfare when confined in traps. Outline your mitigations for ant attack in your project application.  \nStandard Operating Procedure  \nSC24-02 ALUMINIUM BOX TRAPS FOR CAPTURE OF TERRESTRIAL VERTEBRATES  \nAnimal welfare is the responsibility of all personnel involved in the care and use of animals for scientific purposes.  \nPersonnel involved in an Animal Ethics Committee approved project should read and understand their obligations under the Australian code for the care and use of animals for scientific purposes.  \nVersion 1.4  \nLast reviewed: August 2024  \nDepartment of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions Locked Bag 104  \nBentley Delivery Centre WA 6983 Phone: (08) 9219 9000  \nFax: (08) 9334 0498  \n[www.dbca.wa.gov.au](www.dbca.wa.gov.au)  \n© Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions on behalf of the State of Western Australia 2024  \nAugust 2024  \nThis work is copyright.
