Evaluation of continuous 4-day exposure to peracetic acid as a treatment for Ichthyophthirius multifiliis

Original language description

The parasitic ciliate Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Ich) infests all species of freshwater fish. Peracetic acid (PAA) was found to be toxic to Ich theronts at low concentrations. Ich-infested carp were exposed to 1 mg/l PAA in a dynamic exposure by meansof peristaltic pumps. Five days after infestation, gills, tail fins and skin below the dorsal fin were observed microscopically for Ich abundance. PAA-treated fish showed lower infestation of Ich in all investigated tissues than the unexposed control fish. The infestation increased in the control group whereas the infestation in the PAA-exposed groups significantly decreased (p=0.0083, Bonferroni correction). The fish in the two exposure groups showed a slight reinfestation with Ich.. PAA concentrations were possibly too low to be effective on the released trophonts and/or the infective theronts. This hypothesis is corroborated by the fact that the Ich .in the gills, skin, and fins of the PAA-exposed carp were in an early developmental
