fish liver oils

used in animal diets because of their high content of vitamin A and D. Should be stabilized to avoid loss of vitamins in storage and need an antioxidant to avoid rancidification and loss of vitamin E. May also cause tainting of animal foods. See also cod liver oil, omega-3 fatty acids.

fish meal

a protein feed supplement rich in calcium, phosphorus and having a good iodine content. Made from inedible fish residues from the canning and fresh fish industries. May taint animal products. Toxic amines produced by bacterial spoilage cause gizzard erosion and fatal hemorrhage in birds.

fish mouth

FISH

Fluorescent in situ hybridization Molecular medicine A hybrid of 3 technologies: cytogenetics, fluorescence microscopy, and DNA hybridization, which is used to determine cell ploidy and detect chromosome segments by evaluating interphase–non-dividing nuclei; in FISH, fluoresceinated chromosome probes are used for cytologic analysis and cytogenetic studies, and to detect intratumoral heterogeneity. See Chromosomal paint box.

Patient discussion about big fish.

Q. Can omega-3 make my cholesterol lower? My doctor told me that I have too much cholesterol in my blood, and that it can cause heart attack or stroke, but if I keep it low than my risk will be lower. He told me that because it’s not that high level I can try to change my diet before I have to start taking medication. I heard that omega-3 can make my cholesterol level low. Is that true? Do I have to take it in pills? Is it safe?

A. You can consume omega-3 either as pills or in fish oil, fatty fish (such as salmon) and vegetarian food such as flaxseed and flaxseed oil, canola oil, soybean oil, and nuts.

Q. Does fish-oil helps exercise induced asthma? I was diagnosed with exercise induced asthma a couple of year ago, and since then had better and worse times with my asthma, although the treatment I get. I read in a newspaper that fish oil can help exercise induced asthma- is that true? Do I have to eat fish-oil specifically or can I eat fish instead (I really, really, hate fish-oil…)?

A. No one really proved that omega-3 actually helps asthma, although some doctors say it is. If I was in your situation, I’d just give it a try and see if it helps me (just ask your doctor before if omega 3 wouldn’t interfere with your other medications). Just remember that it’s not a magic, so don’t get disappointed if it doesn’t produce miracles on your asthma. Good luck!

Q. What's the best tropical fish food available in the market, in terms of nutrition, palatability, etc., My teenage son is not much interested in non vegetarian items except some fishes. As he is very lean and weak we like to improve his health using his favorite dish: ‘fish’. Can anyone please let me know what's the best tropical fish food available in the market, in terms of nutrition, palatability, etc.,

A. fish as a nutritional value dish is holding up - protein, iodine and omega-3 fatty acids. about what fish have the best quantities?
as GeraldRoger said- salmon fish. but that is also depends on how it was grown and where, not every fish has the same amount of everything.
