Fish Tumors

Abstract
Fish are mostly contaminated by the food they eat, and fish higher up the food chain that eat other bottom-dwelling species have greater amounts of bio-accumulative pollutants. Wild fish cannot be controlled in their diet, but farmed fish may have their levels of pollutants and some nutrients changed by changing the feed they are given. All swells are not tumours, by extension. Numerous enlargements, such as cold abscesses, haematocysts (haematomas), chronic inflammation, parasite nodules, and masses of intra-abdominal fat necrosis, may resemble tumours. In determining the health of an ecosystem, neoplasms with chemicals as part of their aetiology (either as initiators or promoters) might be helpful. The optimal course of action for treating neoplasms in ornamental fish must be determined by more research, especially in light of the declining wild fish population and the rising educational and conservation importance of captive fish in public aquariums.
