HistologyHistology
is an important field of fish health that can often detect subtle conditions
or early signs of disease not easily recognized on gross examination. Changes
at the cellular level and in the function of key organs are the first indications
of mal-adjustment to stressors that may eventually lead to poor health or
disease. Histology in the Wild Fish Survey supplements general observations
and pathogen screening of wild fish populations. Special projects such as
water quality and contaminant studies can be augmented with histology to
provide better insight into the environmental and/or physiological demands
presented to fish in their natural environment. |
