A surgical method for implanting transmitters with sensors into the body cavity of cod (Gadus morhua L.)

Relatively complicated surgery is a necessity when implanting sensors internally in fish in order to measure physiological variables at specific locations. A surgical procedure from implanting transmitters with remote sensors into the body cavity of cod (Gadus morhua L.) is presented. The method emp...

Description
Summary:Relatively complicated surgery is a necessity when implanting sensors internally in fish in order to measure physiological variables at specific locations. A surgical procedure from implanting transmitters with remote sensors into the body cavity of cod (Gadus morhua L.) is presented. The method employed introduces new procedures in fish surgery which enable the experimentalist to perform prolonged operations on marine fish.
