Necropsy: Introduction to External Examination


 

 

In this section, we will give a brief overview of necropsy techniques, using the rainbow trout as a model. First we will cover euthanasia, and then methods to examine and sample the different organ systems. The more information you know from a good case history, the more informed an examiner you will be when looking at fish with anything from a parasite or secondary fungal infection, to viral and bacterial infections, to water quality or chemical insults.
