What are Common Histological Techniques Used in Fish Studies?
Several histological techniques are employed to study fish tissues, including fixation, embedding, sectioning, and staining. Fixation preserves tissues, embedding in paraffin allows for thin sectioning, and staining (e.g., Hematoxylin and Eosin) highlights different cellular components. Immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization are advanced techniques used to detect specific proteins and nucleic acids.
