Abstract

The occurrence of antibacterial agents in natural environment had recently received growing concern due to potential adverse effects on human health and aquatic ecosystems. Florfenicol (FF) is a synthetic phenicol antibiotic, widely used in veterinary medicine for treating diverse infections, and inevitably released into the environment, either from uneaten medicated pelleted feed or through urinary, branchial, and fecal excretion. This is one of the few approved antibiotics for use in aquaculture during both production and processing operations, mainly to prevent and treat bacterial diseases.
