Comparative Study Between Chloroquine Sulphate and Copper Sulfate in Aquaculture at Low Dosages
Aquaculture water was exposed to very low dosages of copper sulfate and chloroquine sulphate in order to observe their purgative effects at minimal concentrations, where both substances are commonly employed for their antimicrobial and antiparasitic properties in fish farming. It was observed that the well-known treatment using cooper sulphate is effective even at a low dosage, while the proposed novel treatment using chloroquine was not. The present study highlights the need of effective treatment while avoiding compromising medicine misusage which greatly leads to host resistance.
