Marine Scotland Science Launch Fish Necropsy Manual
December 29, 2015 by Marine Directorate Communications 1 Comment | Category Aquaculture, Collaborations, Fisheries, Marine Directorate general, Marine Directorate Science
Aquaculture and fish health colleagues in Marine Scotland Science (MSS) have recently launched a Fish Necropsy Manual – an online interactive website covering 10 important fish species in aquaculture or fisheries. In addition to the thoroughly illustrated necropsy technique, the manual contains additional information on: functional anatomy, post mortem phenomena, laboratory technical requirements, animal welfare, a dedicated glossary and a comprehensive pathology archive.
To complete this piece of work the MSS authors Patricia Noguera and David Bruno received sponsorship from MSD Animal Health and the web hosting from the European Association of Fish Pathologists (EAFP). The manual is now available through the EAFP site
