Modalities such as cryosurgery and CO₂ laser have been used extensively in fish for mass ablation (Figure 5.4) (Francis‐Floyd et al. 1993; Harms et al. 2008; Boylan et al. 2015). These modalities improve hemostasis but do not allow for histologic evaluation and no study has demonstrated superior results using these modalities in fish. Protocols are extrapolated from those used in mammals. Hand‐held electrocautery can be used for hemostasis, but electrosurgery should not be used due to the omnipresence of conductive water (Figure 5.5).
