Pharmaceuticals

Efficacy

Challenge trials can be conducted to document the effects of pharmaceuticals under different regimes with regards to fish size, dose, treatment time, temperature and/or salinity.

Target animal safety

Safety evaluations of pharmaceuticals involve assessing evaluation of potential adverse events  following treatment. The trials can be conducted in accordance with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) guidelines.

Residue depletion

These studies aim to determine the concentration of pharmaceutical or pesticide residues in fish fillet with reference to Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) values, specifically focusing on those derived from plant-based ingredients present in fish feed. 

Pharmacokinetics/Bioequivalence

These studies aim to assess the timeline for drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, while also comparing the kinetics of various active substances.s.
