Does the level of asepsis impact the success of surgically implanting tags in Atlantic salmon?
It is generally recommended that a high level of asepsis be maintained during surgical implantation of electronic tags into fish. However, documentation of a positive effect of asepsis in fish surgery is lacking. To compare the effects of surgical implantation performed under different sanitary cond...
