Biopsy and rapid postmortem techniques are simple to perform with commonly available instruments. Because the skin and gills are the target organs for so many infectious agents, biopsy is a very useful tool in pet fish medicine. The major requisite for successful diagnosis using biopsy materials is the ability to recognize different taxonomic groups of pathogens. Many of these pathogens may be present in clinically normal individuals, and their importance must be interpreted with other clinical findings. Rapid postmortem techniques can identify several common systemic diseases affecting pet fish. The usefulness of these procedures is highly dependent on the state of tissue preservation of the specimens presented.
活检和快速尸检技术使用常见仪器即可简便操作。由于皮肤和鳃是众多感染因子的靶器官，活检在观赏鱼医学中是非常有用的工具。使用活检材料成功诊断的主要前提是能够识别不同分类群的病原体。许多这些病原体可能存在于临床正常的个体中，其重要性必须结合其他临床发现来解读。快速尸检技术可以识别几种影响观赏鱼的常见全身性疾病。这些程序的实用性高度依赖于所提供标本的组织保存状态。
