Effects of florfenicol and oxytetracycline on the tropical cladoceran Ceriodaphnia silvestrii: A mixture toxicity approach to predict the potential risks of antimicrobials for …
Antimicrobials are commonly used in aquaculture to treat infectious diseases in fish. The
overuse of these chemicals, however, has made them a contamination source for the
aquatic environments. In this study, single and combined effects of florfenicol (FLO) and
oxytetracycline (OTC), two antimicrobials widely used in the fish farming, were evaluated in
acute and chronic toxicity tests using the tropical cladoceran Ceriodaphnia silvestrii as a
model species. Also, a preliminary risk characterization of FLO and OTC for zooplankton …
