Popis:	Young channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus were incised through the peritoneal wall and the wounds were closed with a cyanoacrylate adhesive. Postoperative survival of test fish was 100% compared to 87% for control fish (fish that were handled like test fish but not incised). There was no difference in postoperative bacterial infection rates between test and control groups. Histological evaluation showed that wound healing was essentially complete within 14 d of surgery. Inflammatory responses were minor during this time and absent by day 14. Adhesions between incised tissue and the peritoneal viscera were observed in 60% of test fish; these adhesions slowed but did not alter the course of wound healing.
