In the past few years, research has shown that fish feel pain. The question of whether or not fish suffer was the subject of a recent conference...
Begin the process of identifying unknown bacteria by observing their physical characteristics, such as cell wall, shape and linkages.
Begin the process of identifying unknown bacteria by observing their physical characteristics, such as cell wall, shape and linkages. Use standard laboratory procedures, like cell staining, culturing and DNA sequencing to further narrow down your identification. Bacteria are generally grouped into species according to their physical and metabolic characteristics, rather than their genetic relationships to one another.

In a special experiment, zebrafish with defective immune systems swam and dined with counterparts with normal immune systems. In short order, their gut microbiomes became similar.
Saw this in the pharmacy today - and it's EXCELLENT advice for Koi keepers! It doesn't just apply to humans!
Clove oil is used as an anesthetic for many species of fish, including Koi. Research was done on the effectiveness of clove oil as a muscle relaxant, as well as the timing of induction and recovery.
The entire surface of the fish should be thoroughly examined including the oral and opercular cavities, the nares, gills, and fins.
While the Australians are interested in the effects of the carp die-off caused by KHV, what is of interest to Koi keepers in the USA is the fact that KHV was documented to be around in the wild in the 1990's.
