How will AQUAFLOR be used in U.S. catfish?
FDA has approved AQUAFLOR for controlling mortality in catfish due to enteric septicemia (ESC) of catfish associated with Edwardsiella ictaluri. Schering-Plough Animal Health gave priority to securing a claim for ESC because of high death losses associated with the disease — more than $13 million a year, according to a USDA estimate. We are now seeking additional claims for other disease-causing pathogens in channel catfish and eventually other aquatic species.
