Photographic and Radiograpic Study of Osteological Abnormalities of the Head of Adult African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus)

Radiography is a practical screening tool to detect subtle skeletal abnormalities in the adult catfish. Systematic identification of skeletal abnormalities in vertebrates provides an insight into the pathogenesis of skeletal disorders. In the present study; we conducted a mutagenesis screen for skel...
