Isn't it strange that dense nerves seem to show up, like the optic nerve and lateral line, like they've a similar density to bone or something.  :|

Don't really know what I'm looking at, buoyancy issues sounds like a swim bladder problem, but no soft organs show up on the scan?

It was a diet issue, causing gas. They treated with antibiotics and then a better diet to avoid it again.

Ah, I've had that in the past. An overly buoyant, bloated fish swimming downwards a lot. In my case, the blockage 🤮 has naturally passed in an explosive event and problem was solved. IIRC it was tangs that eat Nori too fast for their digestive tract to process it properly.  :heyyy:
