Fish is an important source of animal protein. Fish have been widely been exploited by human asfood and pharmaceutical sector. Fin fish are distinguished from other fishes (shellfish) by the presence of distinctive anatomical features such as fins and gills. Fishes have been reported to confer several medicinal properties. This study reviewed fin fishes with wound healing potentials. The study showed that fresh water fishes like Channa striatus, Clarias gariepinus, Oncorhynchus mykiss and Cyprinus carpio has mucilaginous compounds that helps as laxative and in healing wounds. Specifically, slime coat of Clariasgariepinus contain mucin that possess antimicrobial properties. Marine fin fish such as Otolithes ruber, Magalaspis cordyla and Oreochromis niloticus possess different forms of collagens that play essential role in wound healing. Therefore, there is the need for research to focus on the isolation and purification of the exact constituents of the fishes that possesses wound healing potentials.
