Prophylactic use of antibiotics in larval culture of Argopecten ventricosus (Sowerby, 1835).

Journal of Shellfish Research | December 1, 2005| | Copyright

ABSTRACT Chloramphenicol, erythromycin and furazolidone were used in larval culture of Argopecten ventricosus at 4 concentrations: 0.5, 1.0, 3.0 and 6.0 mg/L to evaluate larval survival and prophylactic effect of these antibiotics. The use of concentrations higher than 1.0 mg/L induced a significant (P

INTRODUCTION

In the past 15 years in Mexico, efforts have been made to develop aquaculture technology for farming A. ventricosus (= circularis) and other bivalve mollusks of commercial ...
