Abstract:
Parasites on the body surface of fishes are removed without causing side effects by orally administering bithionol to fishes in an amount of 50 to 250 mg/kg of body weight per day. Bithionol is orally administered for 1 to 3 days every day or every other day. This method is suitable for fishes of the order Perciformes, Pleuronectiformes and Tetraodontiformes such as amberjack, yellow tail, Seriola lalandi, Seriola rivoliana Valenciennes, cobia, common horse mackerel, Japanese horse mackerel, Japanese seaperch, Pagrus major, Zebrasoma flavescens, Epinephelus akaara, Epinephelus bruneus, Japanese flounder, Verasper moseri, Takifugu rubripes,Oplegnathus fasciatus, Oplegnathus punctatus, Scomber japonicus, threadsail filefish, Scophthalmus aquosus and tilapia, which are parasitized with Neobenedenia girellae. When removing parasites on the body surface of fishes, feed for fish culture supplemented with a necessary amount of bithionol can be used.
