Retrospective data concerning effects of antibiotics used in aquaculture on disease incidence for cultivated animals and humans are analyzed. Danger of the antibiotics use is shown for those used for both therapeutic and prophylactic purposes. The antibiotics could be consumed by humans with the production of aquaculture or exuded to environments in quantities able to cause microbial imbalance or contribute to development of resistant bacteria forms. These consequences lead to significant economic losses.
