dissecting a fish

Dissecting a fish

First of all, you must go out and collect/catch fish.

Preparation

Must prepare the area where you wish to dissect the fish.

Get all the equipment ready and clean before beginning.

You will need a knife, scalpel, chopping board, tweezers and scissors.

Some people may also want gloves/protection for hands and clothes.

Process of Dissection

First of all, you need to cut the fish at the neck. It is important that you do not fully cut the neck or else there will be a lot of blood.

Once the neck is cut, you slit right down the middle of the fish’ body.

You must ensure that you do not cut too deeply into the body or else you will destroy the fish’ organs.

You can cut down the fish using a knife or a scissors.

When you have slit the fish fully, down to the gill, then you can remove the organs and get a closer look inside the fish.

Remove the organs using the knife, scalpel or tweezers.

When you have removed the organs, you can identify them and learn about all the different types of organs and their function.

Dissecting the fish yourself allows you to explore all the different parts of the fish in such a detailed fashion.

Dissecting a fish is a great way to learn about the anatomy of the fish in-depth and how its internal body works.
