Italians and Chinese love garlic. Let’s feed it to fish!

Dr Loh, with Ms Jessie Poon, at Boronia Aquarium have come up with a recipe that has had clinical evidence of improving the immune system of fish using such ingredients. If you’d like Dr Loh to mix some food up for you, just book to see The Fish Vet.

	Abstract:	The extensive use of antibiotics and various chemical compounds has resulted in drug residue and resistant pathogens in treated fish. Drug residue not only pollutes the environment, but also threatens human consumers. In contrast, garlic as a well-known natural antibiotic that causes no environmental or physical side effects has shown to be effective for the treatment of many diseases in humans and animals owing to its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and antihypertensive properties. In aquacultural operations, garlic with dose optimization is strongly recommended. This review focuses on the application of garlic in various fish diseases treatments and the prospects of using garlic preparations in aquaculture.
