Current trend in drug discovery and modern pharmaceutical analysis have
revolutionized in order to solve problems and meet the raising demand for
humankind including remedies for disease. Since the utilization of antibiotics
have been banned for aquaculture practices, new methods and technologies
need to be implement to face the disease outbreaks. Therefore, the
objectives of this study were to determine the biomedical properties in
epidermal mucus and skin of the cleaner fish, Labroides dimidiatus, that have
important roles in the defense mechanism since both are the first line defense
of innate immune system.
