Bony fish dissection Life Science Marine

[ndicker]

Hi all,
Any ideas on the best (cheapest!) place to get some whole bony fish for Life Science Marine class in Tas. I've only been at the job for bout 2 weeks so am still finding my way around.... Surely it woudn't be as simple as the supermarket?!?!?!?!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Nicole,

We usually get our fish for dissection from local fish markets. I am in Vic so I can't help you out as to locations of such markets, but generally they offer fish at cheaper prices than supermarkets.

Hope this is of some help!

Hi

I am lucky enough to be friends with a prawn trawler skipper and he gives me some bycatch so perhaps you could find someone in a similar industry and see if they can help you.

Cheers
