Incorporating Three-Dimensional Technology through Microcomputed Tomography in the Study of Salmonid Anatomy: An Assessment of Utility, International Journal of Morphology

Salmonids can occasionally experience skeletal deformations during development. This study assessed the effectiveness of microcomputed tomography (Micro-CT) compared to traditional methods like radiography, histological techniques, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Using Micro-CT on five Oncorhynchus kisutch specimens, the technique provided superior resolution of bone structures, enabling detailed analysis of morphological variations and mineral density. It revealed anomalies in the last vertebrae and increased density in malformed dorsal lepidotrichia, enhancing understanding of fish ontogeny and opening new perspectives on locomotor strategies and adaptive responses to environmental changes.
