Experimental design. Eight groups were generated, four were sampled 3 days after scale removal and the others were sampled on day 7. Four different groups were created: N - control fish in normal conditions; WS - fish fed normal ration levels but with ~60-70% of scales removed; ST - fasted fish and STWS - fasted fish with ~60-70% of scales removed. Food was withdrawn from fish in the ST and STWS groups 7 days before the removal of the scales (day 0) and for the duration of the experiment.
