Abstract
Abstract Intensive or extensive culture of aquatic animals requires chemicals that control disease, enhance the growth of cultured species, reduce handling trauma to organisms, improve water quality, disinfect water, and control aquatic vegetation, predaceous insects, or other nuisance organisms. The aquaculture chemical needs for various species have been described for rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss ; Atlantic and Pacific salmon, Salmo salar and Oncorhynchus sp.; channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus ; striped bass, Morone saxatilis ; milkfish, Chanos chanos ; mollusks; penaeid shrimp; and a variety of other freshwater and marine species. Laws and regulations on the use of chemicals in aquaculture vary by country. Regulations and therapeutants or other chemicals that are approved or allowed for use in the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, Chile, and Australia are presented herein. In the United States, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulate the application of chemicals to organisms or to their environments. FDA controls the use of drugs and anesthetics, and EPA controls the application of chemicals and pesticides to the environment. Each agency develops appropriate guidelines and policies to implement the laws for its field of responsibility. Few therapeutants are registered in the United States for use on any cultured aquatic species. In the most critical area of antibacterials, only two (Terramycin for Fish and Romet‐30) are approved and available. Formalin (Formalin‐F, Parasite‐S, Paracide‐F) is the only registered fungicide and Paracide‐F is the only formalin product currently labeled for use on eggs of all fish at 1000–2000 mg/L for 15 min. Formalin (Formalin‐F, Parasite‐S, Paracide‐F) is the only parasiticide currently approved and available. Paracide‐F is the only formalin product currently approved for use on all fish. Povidone‐iodine compounds can be used to disinfect the surface of fish eggs because FDA has classified them as low regulatory priority substances. Water treatment compounds (potassium permanganate, calcium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium carbonate, calcium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, tris buffer, and sodium sulfite), anesthetics (tricaine, carbon dioxide gas, and sodium bicarbonate), herbicides (copper sulfate, chelated copper compounds, and diquat dibromide) and piscicides (antimycin and rotenone) are also registered and regulated. The control of aquaculture drugs varies according to country from no regulation to restrictive regulations. Generally, few requirements are needed for a therapeutant to be licensed or registered in Africa, and most of Asia and South America. Except for environmental studies, requirements for registration data in Canada are similar to requirements in the United States. However, Canada has significantly different regulations and approval processes. Canadian aquaculturalists use drugs that are either licensed for other food animals and prescribed by veterinarians or used in an emergency under the direction of the Canadian Bureau of Veterinary Drugs (BVD). Chemicals authorized for use in aquaculture in Canada include oxytetracycline, sulfadimethoxine and ormetoprim (Romet‐30, Romet‐B), and others. Chemicals authorized for use in aquaculture in certain European countries include ampicillin, chlortetracycline, and others. In Japan, registration of drugs for aquatic species requires the same data as those required for drugs on other animals. The Ministry of Agriculture, Forests, and Fisheries and the Ministry of Welfare control the use of chemicals and aquaculture in Japan. As of April 2001, more chemicals were registered for aquacultural use in Japan than in any other country. They include amoxicillin, ampicillin, florfenicol, tetracycline, thiamphenicol, eugenol, and hydrogen peroxide. More therapeutants and vaccines may soon be added to the medicine chest of fish farmers. Research has been conducted on important antibacterial compounds in the United States and the U.S. Geological Survey's Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center is working on several fronts to improve the availability of anesthetics, fungicides and parasiticides.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
