Oral anatomy in fish varies greatly by taxonomic family, feeding behavior, life stage, and natural habitat; failure to provide the appropriate husbandry and diet type can result in fish disease and deaths.
An oral examination should always be included as part of the minimum database when examining fish.
The oral cavity is subject to infectious diseases, trauma, and neoplasia.
In-house exfoliative cytology is a quick, easy tool to use as an aid in the diagnosis of oral cavity diseases.
Differentiation of lesions that seem similar helps determine effective treatments rather than using a polypharmacy approach.
