Fish have been living on this earth for an estimated 400 million years. Some say that their endurance and willingness to brave the elements is largely due in part to the efficiency of their immune system.

Not only the ability to fight off general disease, but also in part to their intolerance of cancerous cells in their bodies.

Scientists have been in cooperation with many cancer research and prevention facilities all around the world to study this phenomenon.

Although the facts are clear that there is hardly ever any aquatic animals that ever developed this disease, even when directly exposed to cancer causing elements, the reason to why is still unclear.

Many believe it is due to their active lifestyle, seeing that aquatic animals are almost in constant motion since the day of birth. This may be a general factor in overall health, but still does not explain how they are immune to the agents when directly exposed.

They have also been taking samples from various parts of these animals’ immune systems and testing each element individually in laboratories.

Many believe that it is their DNA which simply does not have an existence for this disease, while others hope that their biological makeup holds the secret to the cause for cancer.

Samples of bone marrow and various components of the blood are currently being tested, primarily in facilities in Australia. Findings are expected to be released later this week.

If test show any positive results, testing is expected to begin to be conducted on humans early this summer.
