Dear David
many thanks for the suggestion, but the fish specimens should be available first.
We are doing X-rays of Fishes in normal digital medical X-rays, only thing is the Technician should be perfect in doing X-rays of small bones. Please try at your native place, I hope it can be done properly.
I agree with Dr A. David Scarfe. That's what I did personally.
Dear All
I know very well how to get an an x-ray and from where, but I would like to hear from people from the countries that I mentioned to supply x-rays for Zeus faber from their countries specifically.

The x-rays that pass through the three Lookdown specimens are captured on a digital detector, which produces an image that makes the specimen appear transparent: bone is white, and soft tissue is grayish-black. The x-rays in this exhibit were taken at exposures of 30 to 70 kilovolts for 5 to 10 seconds, depending on the size and density of the fish.
Sorry Majid
My problem is not with x-ray machine, but I need fish samples of the species Zeus faber from the following countries;
Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Namibia, Congo, New Caledonia, Fiji, and Papua New Guinea
