Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coho salmon were infected with Aeromonas salmonicida (furunculosis) and treated with oxytetracycline at different stages of disease severity to determine the drug efficacy. The disease was controlled but the degree of control depended on when treatment started. The longer treatment was delayed after infection, the less effective was the treatment. However, it was concluded that feeding 3.5 gm oxytetracycline per 100 pounds of fish per day for 10 days was an effective way of controlling furunculosis in coho salmon.
