Atypical mycobacterioses are unusual infections of the skin and other organs caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria. Fish tank granuloma and swimming pool granuloma are two forms of atypical mycobacterioses caused by Mycobacterium marinum. So far, only a few cases of these infections have been reported in organ transplant patients, and these usually are more severe when compared with atypical mycobacterioses in immunocompetent hosts. We report a kidney transplant patient with a rather mild form of atypical mycobacteriosis (fish tank granuloma) who responded well to treatment with doxycycline and will provide a review of all similar cases reported in the literature.

The suitability of tuna by-product meal (TBM) as a replacement for fish meal (FM) in the diet of juvenile greater amberjack was investigated for its effect on growth, mercury (Hg) levels in the fish body, phosphorus (P) load, and plasma chemistry. FM was the main protein source in the control diet (C), and it was replaced by TBM at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% to formulate diets TM25, TM50, TM75, and TM100, respectively. The experiment was performed in triplicate, stocking 30 juveniles (mean weight: approximately 6.
