Description:Fish health inspections procedures currently require sacrificing of fish to detect specific fish pathogens. The purpose of this manual is to instruct fish health personnel in the procedures for liver and kidney biopsies in live salmonid broodfish. The tissues collected are suitable for fish disease diagnostic or fish health inspection purposes. Kidney tissues alone may be all that are necessary for health inspection purposes; however, both procedures are outlined in detail. The intent of the biopsy is to detect vertically transmissible diseases or pathogens that can be passed into eggs or fingerlings that might be shipped from one point to another.
