“…McKinney et al (1991) described that PAA at certain concentrations can deactivate catalases, so the toxic effect of H 2 O 2 within PAA formulations would be maintained. Such an effect was shown by Pedersen et al (2009), who simultaneously measured PAA and H 2 O 2 at different concentrations. We speculate that the mode of action for toxicity of PAA formulations is primarily the action of PAA and secondarily the action of H 2 O 2 .…”

Commercial peracetic acid (PAA) formulations are acidic mixtures of PAA, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), acetic acid, H2O, and stabilizers to maintain the equilibrium of the concentrations. Different PAA formulations show diverse PAA : H2O2 ratios, potentially leading to different toxicities at the same PAA concentration due to the different concentrations of H2O2 and stabilizers used. To confirm any potential differences in toxicity, we performed 24‐h toxicity tests using Daphnia magna with three commercial PAA formulations (Wofasteril): E400, E250, and Lspez. The experiments were carried out in standard dilution water and with increased water hardness, salinity, or dissolved organic carbon to reflect various natural conditions. Results showed that the toxicity to Daphnia was greatest for Lspez, intermediate for E250, and lowest for E400. An E400 + H2O2 mixture, which possessed a composition theoretically identical to the E250 formulation, had toxic effects and 24‐h LC50 values similar to those of E250. This indicates an additive effect of H2O2 on the toxicity of PAA formulations. Moreover, a significant positive correlation was found between Daphnia mortality and the 3‐h concentration of total peroxide (PAA and H2O2), with an r‐value higher than that of PAA alone. A significant negative correlation between the total peroxide : PAA molar ratio and the 24‐h LC50 value was observed, indicating that the toxicity of PAA formulations to Daphnia is due to the combined effect of both PAA and H2O2.

“…Without the peroxidase, the transparent, colorless (to light pinkish) DPD is oxidized by PAA into DPD + , which is pinkish and has a maximum absorption value at 550 nm (Pedersen et al 2009). When peroxidase is added, the DPD is oxidized by both PAA and H 2 O 2 (Bader et al 1988).…”

“…The facility comprises mechanical filtering using 40-µm nylon mesh, biofilters, trickling filters, sedimentation facility, oxygen cones supplying pure oxygen under pressure, pumps, electronic alarm systems (for low/high water level and low oxygen level), pumping reservoir, and automatic feeders supplying pelleted dry feed. The main function of the biofilter is the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite by Nitrosomonas and further on to nitrate by Nitrospira and Nitrobacter bacteria (Pedersen et al 2009). However, a microscopic fauna comprising several species of ciliates, rotifers, oligochaetes, free-living nematodes, and turbellarians may colonize the filter and take part in degradation of organic particles (Buchmann 1988).…”

(Actinopterygii: Anguilliformes: Anguillidae): change of control strategies due to occurrence of anthelmintic resistance. Acta Ichthyol. Piscat. 41 (2): 105-108.Background. The European eel, Anguilla anguilla (L.), is considered an endangered species and a series of protective measures have been implemented within the European community in order to enhance natural stocks. Restocking natural habitats with larger eels reared from the glass-eel stage in recirculated farming systems may be one solution. Gill diseases caused by monogenean parasites of the genus Pseudodactylogyrus are currently causing morbidity and mortality in these farms and previously applied standard treatments have recently failed. Therefore the applied control methods should be verified and novel solutions proposed. Materials and methods. Eels infected by Pseudodactylogyrus anguillae were obtained from a typical recirculated eel-culture system which had been treated regularly but recently unsuccessfully with benzimidazole anthelmintics. In the laboratory infected eels were subjected to bath treatments with flubendazole (5 or 10 mg · L -1 ) or praziquantel (5 or 10 mg · L -1 ) for 24 h at 25ºC and parasite infections were recorded three days post-treatment. Results. Gill monogeneans, Pseudodactylogyrus anguillae, were not controlled by the anthelmintic flubendazole at any of the dosages tested whereas praziquantel showed a significant effect when used as bath (5 and 10 mg · L -1 ). Conclusion. The failure of flubendazole for control of pseudodactylogyrosis may result from selection of anthelmintic resistant parasite strains due to use of benzimidazoles for decades. Future treatment regimes during acute outbreaks may be based on praziquantel. A risk for future continued selection for anthelmintic resistance exists and supplementary non-chemical methods (mechanical and biological) in rearing of European eel should be emphasized in the future management practice of eel.

“…In addition to its demonstrated effectiveness against fish pathogens (Farmer et al, 2013;Jussila et al, 2011;Smail et al, 2004;Lilley and Inglis, 1997), its degradation time and kinetics make it a good ecofriendly alternative to other disinfectants of common use in aquaculture such as formaldehyde, iodophors, phenolic compounds, chlorine or quaternary ammonium compounds (Danner and Merrill, 2005;Pedersen et al, 2009Pedersen et al, , 2013Lahnsteiner and Kletzl, 2016;Liu et al, 2017a). Peracetic acid has been demonstrated to be acutely toxic to the following typical fish pathogens in vitro.…”

Confirmation that pulse and continuous peracetic acid administration does not disrupt the acute stress response in rainbow trout

A B S T R A C TPeracetic acid (PAA) is considered an eco-friendly alternative to other antimicrobial agents of common use in aquaculture. The literature suggests that fish can habituate to PAA exposure based on a reduction of the fish corticosteroid response to PAA administration after repeated exposures. If that is true, PAA would also be a good option from the point of view of fish physiology. However, stronger evidence is needed to confirm that the use of PAA is welfare-friendly to fish. Besides habituation, other hypothetical factors such as desensitization, physiological exhaustion or PAA-mediated endocrine disruption could potentially explain the reduction in the corticosteroid response after repeated/prolonged PAA exposure. In this study, rainbow trout that had been exposed to PAA for several weeks were challenged with a secondary chasing stressor: fish were pursued with a dipnet for 1 min and their acute response was evaluated by measuring plasma cortisol, plasma glucose, plasma lactate and brain serotonergic activity. All fish were equally able to mount a normal physiological stress response to the secondary stressor independent of previous exposure to PAA. This suggests that the decrease in the cortisol response after repeated exposure to PAA, as seen in previous studies, is a true habituation to PAA administration, which supports the use of PAA as a welfare-friendly antimicrobial agent in aquaculture.
