VARIOUS DRUGS USED IN
FISH TRANSPORTATION
AND BREEDING OF FINFISH
AND SHELLFISH
FISH TRANSPORTATION
DRUGS
The drugs used in transport medium, aimed at
increasing the capacity volume of the transport units
and preventing physiological and health damage to
the fish, constitute an integral part of the complex
problem of fish transport.
They include the use of anaesthetics, water
hardening and oxygen-producing chemicals,
bacteriostatics, buffering and antifoam chemicals.
USE OF FISH TRANQUILIZERS
? During transport, sedation of the fish is desirable, since
oxygen consumption and CO2 and NH3 production are
all decreased. However, deep sedation is undesirable
because the fish may fall to the bottom, pile up and
smother.
? If pumps are used, the fish may be pulled into the
screen, the air may move the deeply sedated fish about
and cause a loss of scales.
? It is best to sedate the fish in the holding facility for 30
min before loading and then to continue exposure to a
lower concentration of sedative during transport.
? The use of anaesthetics should not be relied on for increased
load carrying capacity. Other methods are safer and
dependable.
? The use of anaesthetics on food fish that will be consumed
soon after exposure is not legal. Consideration should always
be given to the legal status of a chemical and possible
consequences to the consumer.
? Anaesthesia usually applies only to transported brood fish.
? In practice, the fish are first tranquilized with the normal dose
and put into the transport tank, where original concentration is
diluted by 50 percent by adding the same amount of fresh
water. The brood fish will remain tranquillized well in that
diluted solution.
? MS-222 is a very mild tranquilizer and fish easily recover
from its effects even after a long stupor.
? MS-222 to water at the rate of 20 mg/l for carp and
grass carp, 10 mg/l for silver carp, and 35 mg/l for
bighead carp or sheatfish. At these concentrations the
fish can still hold their natural position but their
respiration and motility are significantly decreased.
? When applying this anaesthetic, the mass of transported
fish in a unit volume can be increased by 50¨C150
percent, but it is best to test it before application.
? Quinaldine (2¨C4 methylchinolin) is a toxic liquid and must,
therefore, be handled with care. The fish are usually treated
with it when they are held in a large volume of water, such as
a large tank.
? Apart from these two tranquilizers, other drugs are to be
used. Phenoxyethanol is another chemical that has recently
come into use as a fish tranquilizer. It is milder and less
effective than MS-222, but it is far cheaper; 30¨C40 cm3 of
phenoxy-ethanol are mixed with 100 litres of water for the
treatment.
APPLICATION OF SODIUM CHLORIDE
AND CALCIUM CHLORIDE
? Handling stress and delayed mortality of fish can be
decreased by the addition of sodium cloride (NaCl) and
calcium chloride (CaCl2) to the transport water.
? The sodium ion tends to ¡°harden¡± the fish and reduce slime
formation, and the calcium ion suppresses osmoregulatory
and metabolic disfunction.
? Calcium chloride may not be needed in hard water already
containing high concentrations of calcium.
? Recommended the addition of 0.1 to 0.3 percent salt and 50
mg/l calcium chloride.
? Some of the fishes that tolerate wide ranges of salt in the
water, such as striped bass, tilapias, carp, can benefit from
as much as 0.5 percent salt.
? Addition of 0.2 percent salt is recommended also by
Johnson (1979).
DRUGS AS OXYGEN SOURCES
? Use of hydrogen peroxide on transported carp fry and
found that one drop (1 ml = 20 drops) of hydrogen
peroxide (6 percent concentration), applied to 1 litre of
water, increased the oxygen content by 1.5 mg/l when
the temperature was 24¡ãC. CO2 content and water pH
were not influenced by the addition of hydrogen
peroxide.
? Dissolved oxygen was measured by the Winkler
method.
BACTERIOSTATIC
CHEMICALS
? Antibacterials are also used to check the
development of bacteria in transport units.
? Antibacterials may strengthen the resistance of
fish, but they are probably of little value as
bacterial checks in transport tanks.
? Rare exception would be in the case where a
superficial infection of an antibacterial-
susceptible bacterium was in progress.
BUFFERS
? Among other chemical additives, buffers such as ¡°tris-
buffer¡± (tris-hydroxylmethyl-amino methane) are helpful in
controlling pH at a favourable value of 7 to 8.
? The accumulation of carbon dioxide in bag transport
allows for a decrease in pH, because carbon dioxide is an
acid.
AMMONIA CONTROL
? To control ammonia concentration in the transport bags
when the transport is expected to be long, it is
recommended to use clinoptilolite, a zeolite mineral.
? The doses of 10¨C40 g/l ; the concentration of non-
ionized ammonia nitrogen never exceeded 0.017 mg/l
in bags containing even the lowest dose of clinoptilolite,
whereas concentrations as high as 0.074 mg/l were
recorded in the control bags left without clinoptilolite.

DRUGS USED IN BREEDING
FINFISH & SHELLFISH
FISH BREEDING
To control In fish breeding, drugs are
sometimes used to induce spawning and
enhance reproductive success.
The use of drugs to enhance spawning and
reproductive success in fish breeding should be
done under the guidance of experts and in
accordance with applicable regulations. Here is
a general overview of how drugs can be used
to enhance spawning and reproductive
success:
In fish breeding, drugs are sometimes used to induce
spawning and enhance reproductive success. Here are a few
drugs commonly used in fish breeding:
Hormones
Hormones are often used to induce spawning in fish species
that do not naturally reproduce in captivity or to synchronize
the reproductive cycle of fish. Common hormone
preparations include synthetic versions of the naturally
occurring hormones such as gonadotropin-releasing hormone
analogs (GnRHa), luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone
analogs (LHRHa), and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)
Antibiotics
Antibiotics are used in fish farming to prevent and treat
bacterial infections. They are administered to fish through
medicated feed or by adding them to the water. Examples of
commonly used antibiotics include oxytetracycline, florfenicol,
and erythromycin.
Parasiticides
Parasiticides are drugs used to control and treat parasitic
infections in fish. They can be added to the water or applied
topically. Common parasiticides include formalin, malachite
Anesthetics: Anesthetics are used during fish handling and
surgery to minimize stress and pain. They are used to sedate or
immobilize fish temporarily. Commonly used fish anesthetics
include tricaine methanesulfonate (MS-222) and benzocaine.
It's important to note that the use of drugs in fish breeding
should be carried out under the guidance of a veterinarian or
fisheries professional to ensure proper dosages and minimize
any potential negative impacts on the fish and the environment.
