Aquatic pharmaceuticals refer to medications specifically designed for use in aquatic environments, including fish farms and marine ecosystems. These products help manage diseases in aquatic animals, promote their health, and improve farming efficiency. They can include antibiotics, vaccines, and other treatments tailored to fish and other aquatic organisms. Responsible use is crucial to prevent antibiotic resistance and protect marine ecosystems, ensuring that the use of these pharmaceuticals supports both animal health and environmental sustainability. Understanding their role is important for maintaining healthy aquatic populations and promoting responsible aquaculture practices.
