Preliminary success using hydrogen peroxide to treat Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., affected with experimentally induced amoebic gill disease ( AGD)
Abstract Currently, the only effective and commercially used treatment for amoebic gill disease ( AGD ) in farmed T asmanian A tlantic salmon is freshwater bathing. H ydrogen peroxide ( H 2 O 2 ), commonly used throughout the aquaculture industry for a range of topical skin and gill infections, was...
