Why Specialized Aquatic Histology Matters
Fish and shellfish have unique tissue characteristics, including high unsaturated fat content, different pH levels, and a mix of soft and mineralized tissues. Because most standard histology protocols were developed for mammals, they must be adapted and optimized to produce reliable results in aquatic species.
