Aquatic Surgery

Aquatic surgery involves specialized medical procedures performed on fish and other aquatic animals to diagnose, treat, or repair health issues. Veterinarians trained in aquatic medicine use techniques similar to terrestrial veterinary surgery but adapted for the unique anatomy and environment of aquatic species. These surgeries can address problems like injuries, infections, tumors, or reproductive issues, often requiring specialized equipment and waterless environments to ensure the well-being and recovery of the animal. Aquatic surgery plays a crucial role in conservation, research, and the care of both ornamental and commercially important aquatic species.
