Fish health products are substances or treatments used in aquaculture and aquariums to promote and maintain the health of fish. These products are designed to prevent and treat diseases, support immune function, enhance growth, and improve overall fish welfare. Here are some common types of fish health products:
1. Medications: Medications for fish include antibiotics, antifungal agents, antiparasitics, and antiseptics. These medications are used to treat various fish diseases caused by bacteria, fungi, parasites, or external injuries. They come in different forms such as topical treatments, injections, or medicated feeds.
2. Vaccines: Vaccines are used in aquaculture to prevent specific diseases by stimulating the fish's immune system to produce protective antibodies. Vaccination helps reduce the risk of disease outbreaks and minimizes the need for antibiotic treatments. Fish vaccines are typically administered through injection or oral administration.
