Fish surgery is practical for clinical and research uses, requiring specific adaptations for aquatic species. This guide details essential considerations and techniques for successful piscine surgical procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Aquatic Animal Surgery
  • Comparative Surgery

Background:

  • Surgical interventions in fish are increasingly important for both clinical veterinary care and scientific research.
  • Standard surgical protocols require modification to address the unique physiology and anatomy of fish.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of surgical considerations and techniques applicable to fish.
  • To guide veterinarians and researchers in performing safe and effective surgical procedures on aquatic species.

Main Methods:

  • Discussion of general principles including anesthesia, patient assessment, specialized equipment, and aseptic techniques.
  • Detailed description of various surgical procedures: celiotomy, enucleation, pseudobranchectomy, swim bladder surgery, gonadectomy, biopsies, device implantation, and catheterization.

Main Results:

  • Fish surgery is demonstrated as a feasible and practical approach for diverse applications.
  • Key adjustments for piscine surgery include handling delicate tissues, managing aquatic respiration, and accounting for anatomical differences.

Conclusions:

  • Successful surgical outcomes in fish depend on understanding and adapting to their unique biological characteristics.
  • This work serves as a foundational resource for performing a wide range of surgical procedures in fish.
