Formalin toxicity to Oreochromis niloticus; its effectiveness against Cichlidogyrus spp. and host stress response

ABSTRACT The effective formalin therapeutic concentration (ETC) against Cichlidogyrus spp. infecting tilapia was obtained. Also, the stress and immune response to formalin baths in O. niloticus were achieved. A static bioassay with four concentrations (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 mL L-1) of formaldehyde (37%...

A static bioassay with four concentrations (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 mL L-1) of formaldehyde (37% dilution) in water, and one control without this substance was performed.

Evaluation times were: three hour pre-treatment (T0), and one hour, three days and three months post-treatment (T1, T2, and T3, respectively).
