Book excerpt: Oxytetracycline (Terramycin) was reported by Snieszko (158) as an effective therapeutic for the treatment of bacterial diseases of warmwater fish. Subsequent reports gave additional evidence that when used as a feed additive, this drug was effective against bacterial infections normally encountered in warmwater fishes. Routine in vitro drug sensitivity tests of aeromonad, pseudomonad, and myxobacterial species isolated from diseased fish at the Fish Farming Experimental Station since 1964 indicate Terramycin is consistently effective against warmwater fish pathogens.
