Yesterday in Aquatic Science our 10th and 11th grade classes, with help from some seniors, explored fish anatomy by dissecting a dogfish shark. Students examined external features like the streamlined body, fins, placoid scales, and sensory organs, then investigated internal structures including the gills, liver, stomach, intestines, and circulatory organs. This hands‑on activity helps students compare cartilaginous fish anatomy to bony fish and lampreys, and supports learning about adaptations for life in water such as respiration, buoyancy, and feeding strategies. Upcoming labs will include dissections of a perch (a bony fish) and a lamprey so students can observe anatomical differences across major fish groups.
