SOUTH AMERICAN SCIENTISTS DEVELOP ANTIBIOTIC FOR FISH
South American scientists develop antibiotic for fish
With the aim of promoting South American aquaculture, scientists from the National University of San Marcos, in Peru, and the Autonomous University and the CEAZA Scientific Center, in Chile, have been working together to combat bacterial diseases that usually occur in fish production. trout. This novel antibiotic has been worked on based on molecules of a protein that is found in the same study fish.
This research as a whole is due to the fact that Peruvian aquaculture is growing and this brings with it health problems, morbidity and a higher mortality rate in breeding. These obstacles were already present in Chilean aquaculture, due to being one step ahead of the Peruvian: it is for this reason that both groups of South American scientists decided to unite in order to find solutions to these difficulties.
