Antibiotic residues in farmed shrimp, and antimicrobial resistance in general, pose a threat, but we must balance what is realistic and what is ideal.
Health & Welfare
No antimicrobial agent has been developed specifically for aquaculture applications. However, some antibiotic products used to treat humans or land-based animals have been approved for use at aquaculture facilities.
Health & Welfare
The administration of any pharmaceutically active chemical to a food-producing animal results in the occurrence of antibiotic residues in food.
