An appreciation of the significance of behavior patterns of fish can be as useful to the practitioner as for any of the more familiar domestic species. Veterinarians are trained in comparative medicine, and a logical clinical approach is warranted regardless of the species to which it is directed. The information provided here can serve to bridge the veterinarian's knowledge of other species with the problems encountered in a fish in the sense that knowing what to look for, or what you are looking at, can help put things in perspective. There is no substitute, however, for common sense. The experience a clinician gains through seeing many animals of many species will be as useful with piscine patients as with other animals.
认识到鱼类行为模式的重要性，对从业者而言可能与对任何较为常见的家养动物一样有用。兽医接受过比较医学方面的培训，无论针对何种物种，都需要采用合乎逻辑的临床方法。从知道要寻找什么或正在观察什么有助于正确看待事物的意义上来说，这里提供的信息可以弥合兽医对其他物种的了解与鱼类所遇到问题之间的差距。然而，常识是无可替代的。临床医生通过诊治多种物种的众多动物所积累的经验，对于鱼类患者和其他动物一样有用。
