In the United States, antibiotics may be used in fish culture for control of bacterial infections, if necessary, and under the direction of a U.S. licensed veterinarian. A fact sheet devoted to this complex topic is posted here: Antibiotic Use in Finfish Aquaculture Fact Sheet.
Information source: NAA press release
The fact sheet was jointly produced by the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, American Veterinary Medical Association, and US Fish and Wildlife Service to explain what steps are necessary when considering using approved finfish antibiotic products, which antibiotics are available and how they are available.
