The use of antibiotics and drugs in fish farming has prompted an investigation into the elimination of these residues from fish muscle. Young rainbow trout were given intraperitoneal injections of either chloramphenicol, framycetin, oxytetracycline or sulphadiazine/ trimethoprim and muscle tissue was examined by microbiological assay over a period of weeks for the presence of active residues. The effect of the method of administration of two of the drugs was also investigated and the results discussed.
