      Hello,

      I don’t mind dissecting, but it took me some time to get over the ewwww-factor! But when the fish are fresh they don’t even smell and sometimes I can find interesting things in them – many things which it would be impossible to find out without dissecting fish.

      Once I found a fish inside the stomach of a fish and then dissected the smaller fish to find a fish in its stomach too: a fish in a fish in a fish.
      You also find interesting parasites in muscle tissue, liver and other organs.
