摘要：Most of the fish held in aquaria survived surgical procedures required for implantation of acoustic
transmitters. One pink snapper also survived well after surgery and was subsequently used for
an external tagging experiment. The tarwhine died after 78 days and two other pink snapper
died after 15 and 62 days. Post mortems on the dead fish found that the pink snapper that died
after 15 days had an infection (skin was a red colour and swim bladder was very bloated). Note
that the body cavity was full of fat, as is common in cultured fish (S. Kolkovski, DoFWA, pers.
comm.). In contrast, the snapper that died after 62 days may have starved because the intestine
was inadvertently stitched during surgery and the fish had no fat reserves. There was no obvious
cause for the death for the tarwhine after 78 days. The wound in the tarwhine showed good repair
and was completely covered with a new layer of scales 40 days post surgery.
