“…A bigger biopsy may be excised with a scalpel blade using a standard template (e.g. 10 × 10 mm; Bello & Emikpe 2013). When using a punch biopsy tool, the resulting wound will be similar in size to the biopsy needle head (Fig.…”

Skin wounds and injuries are frequently occurring in farmed fish, particularly in more intensive production systems. Any disruptions of the skin, such as mucus removal, scale loss or deeper incisions, are negatively correlated with barrier functions and disease resistance. In this review, the current knowledge on mechanically induced wounds in fish is dedicated to five areas of focus: (i) The anatomy and functions of fish skin, (ii) Techniques to inflict mechanical skin damage in farmed and laboratory fish for experimental purposes, (iii) Healing mechanisms of deep wounds, (iv) In vitro models for wound healing studies and (v) Wound care, with focus on factors that may enhance or delay skin regenerative processes. The aim of the review was to presents key points for a better understanding of skin resilience and fish robustness, with focus on Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, in Norwegian coastal production environment.

An 8-week feed trial was conducted in glass tanks (60×30×30cm) to assess the performance of fingerlings Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fed diets containing soybean meals processed by toasting and incubation methods. Six diets were formulated at 30% crude protein content with 0 (control), 2,000 units, 4,000 units, 6,000 units, 8,000 units and 10,000 units phytase/kg diet making diet/treatments. Each treatment was replicated twice, each replicate contained 15 fish (6.23 ± 0.1g). Fish were fed twice daily at 5% of their body weight. Mean Weight Gain (MWG), Specific Growth Rate (SGR), Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) and Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER) were measured. Temperature, Dissolved oxygen and pH were determined using standard methods. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and ANOVA at p= 0.05. Results showed that fish fed diet 5 (8,000 units phytase/kg diet) had the best growth and nutrient utilization indices while fish fed the control diet (0 unit phytase/kg diet) had the poorest. The SGR, FCR and PER of the group of fish fed diets with 0, 2,000, 4,000, 6,000 and 10,000 units phytase/kg diet were not significantly difference (p > 0.05), while the SGR, FCR and PER of fishes fed diet with 8,000 units phytase/kg diet were significantly (p < 0.05) better than those of the fishes fed other diets. The values of temperature, dissolved oxygen and pH were closely related and were within the range for fish culture in the tropics. The results suggest that phytase inclusion in the diet of O. niloticus could be a potential and promising dietary supplementation that would positively influence growth and water quality of O. niloticus in aquaculture.

“…These observations may have occurred due to the presence of growth stimulants (flavonoid, tannins and alkaloids) and some important minerals and vitamins embedded in the vegetable and meat. These propositions were based on the fact that flavonoids and flavonoid containing foods posses anti-diabetogenic, hypolipidemic and cytoprotective properties [52][53][54] which may aid in stress reduction [52,55,56],reduction in diabetic induced haematologic effects [56],antibacterial potential [57] and wound healing properties [58] and therefore aid in controlling muscle wasting [59] and finally results in weight gain..…”

From these results it was found that green leafy vegetables are rich sources of protein, fiber and many antioxidants with negligible cholesterol which associates it with a lower risk of cancer, diabetes and heart diseases, while on the other side, meat has the opposite effects of vegetables with many diseases associated with people who consume it frequently. Taken together, it can be concluded that vegetable based meals should be encouraged while excessive meat based meal consumption should be avoided.
