| summer-run fish | <marine biology> Anadromous fish that return to fresh water during June through September, migrate inland toward spawning areas, overwinter in the larger rivers, resume migration in early spring to natal springs and then spawn. (19 Jan 1998) |
| syndrome, fish-odour | An inborn error of metabolism associated with an offensive body odour, the smell of rotting fish, due to the excessive excretion of trimethylaminuria (tma) in urine, sweat, and breath. Persons with tma may experience tachycardia (fast heart rate) and severe hypertension (high blood pressure) after eating cheese (which contains tyramine) and after using nasal sprays containing epinephrine. Tma is caused by a mutation (change) in the gene for an enzyme, flavin-containing monooxygenase-3 (fmo3) encoded by a gene on chromosome 1. The fmo3 enzyme metabolises tyramine (which is in cheese). The syndrome is associated with various psychosocial reactions, including social isolation, clinical depression and attempted suicide. (12 Dec 1998) |

| fish | A physical mappingapproach that uses fluorescent tags to detect hybridisation of probes with metaphasechromosomes and with the less-condensed somatic interphase chromatin. (09 Oct 1997) |
| FISH Analysis | <molecular biology, technique> Use of a DNA or RNA probe todetect the presence of the complementaryDNA sequence in cloned bacterial or cultured eukaryotic cells.Also used for locating geneson chromosomes. The process is: Prepare microscope slide with cells in metaphase of mitosis, Treat slide with a weak base. Thus denaturing the DNA. Pour radioactively labelled probe onto the slide. Expose slide to photographic emulsion for a few days or weeks. Develop emulsion. (13 Oct 1997) |

| fish bowl granuloma | Localised nodular skin inflammation (small reddish raised areas of skin) caused by a bacterium called mycobacterium marinum. Fish bowl granuloma is typically acquired by occupational or recreational exposure to salt or fresh water, often resulting from minor trauma during caring for aquariums. The diagnosis is suggested by the history of exposure and confirmed by culturing tissue specimens which yield the microscopic organism, mycobacterium marinum. The infection can be treated with a variety of antibiotics, including doxycycline, minocycline, clarithromycin, rifampin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Also called swimming pool granuloma.
