Study Title
The toxicity of chlorine dioxide to clownfish and its bactericidal capability to pathogenic strains of vibrio spp
Abstract
- Global transportation of ornamental fish can stress fish and cause mortality
- Clownfish are commonly traded and susceptible to pathogenic strains of vibrio
- Prophylactic treatment of water or fish is recommended
- In this study, chlorine dioxide (ClO2) was tested on six Vibrio strains
- Results showed 0.25 ppm ClO2 effectively suppressed five of seven tested Vibrio strains for 24 hours
- 0.1 ppm ClO2 is safer for clownfish
- ClO2 2.5 ppm reduced bacterial counts to below 3.3 × 105 CFU/mL for 24 hours
- Mild changes in water quality were recorded during the trial
- More research is needed to understand ClO2 sensitivity in various aquatic animal pathogens and its toxicity to different aquatic animals
