Abstract
A system is provided for collecting cellular material from fish for subsequent DNA analysis. A channel includes a sample collection zone. A fluid ejector is directed into the sample collection zone. A fluid collector is communicated with the sample collection zone. A controller is configured to coordinate ejection of a fluid jet from the fluid ejector and collection of a fluid sample by the fluid collector. The fluid jet dislodges cellular material such as scales and mucous from the fish. The fluid collector collects that cellular material in a fluid sample for subsequent DNA analysis.
