Effective indefinite prolonged treatments with 20 ppm formalin for the external protozoa, Scyphidia sp. and Trichodina spp. (Ciliata) of eight species of fishes, and 0.25 ppm Dylox for 24 hours for the polyopisthocotylean monogenetic trematode, Bicotylophora trachinoti, from the gill filaments of pompano (Trachinotus carolinus) are discussed. These treatments were successfully employed during 4 years of mariculture experiments at Dauphin Island, Alabama. A prolonged treatment for cymothoid isopods of pompano is discussed. Subsequent testing of the treatment was not possible. Toxicity of Dylox to pompano in saltwater is presented.
