Toxicity of Furanace to Fish, Aquatic Invertebrates, and Frog Eggs and Larvae

Résumé du livre

Furanace, a nitrofuran originally designated as furpirinol, nifurpirinol, or P-7138, is effective against certain bacterial infections in fish, especially myxobacteriosis. The toxicity of the drug to fish, frog eggs and larvae, and aquatic invertebrates was determined in standardized laboratory toxicity tests an in use pattern exposures. Addtional tests were conducted in aged solutions of Furanace to determine the persistence in water. This research was done to broaden existing toxicity data and to help fulfill drug registration requirements.
