KI>4. With resistant strains of bacteria all fish breeders should have access
KI>to microscope, slides, hot loop(don't understand?)and scalpel.

A hot loop is a small wire loop that is heated in the flame of a bunsen
burner (or other source) until red hot, then used to collect and smear a
sample on a sterile agar plate so you can grow bacterial colonies from
the bacteria present in the sample.

Hope this helps.
