Your careful dissection of the fish is a performance assessment grade. You may also be asked to identify basic parts in a dissected specimen as a QUIZ grade. So, be sure to look at and identify the parts of the fish.
For the Lab Report :Draw and label a diagram of the external and internal of the fish.
