Title: Human health aspects of drug and chemical use in aquaculture.
Abstract: 1 ) Abstract. This document briefly reviews the potential and, in particular, some relevant hazards associated with the use of veterinary drugs and chemicals in aquaculture. Regardless of the developments aimed at the reduction of the risk associated with these types of hazards, during the last decade a number of problems have existed in practice, as detected by the analysis of fish (local and imported) and resulting bans. The whole picture is rather complex, and risk management approaches differ from country to country. The general advice to aquaculture producers is to resort, if necessary, only to veterinary drugs and chemicals approved for the target market, utilize them according to the prescription and, in particular, follow the withdrawal time according to the treatment.
