Abstract:The antibiotics sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) and enrofloxacin (ENF) are commonly used in aquaculture in China, but their effects on the primary productivity of phytoplankton are unclear. On the basis of the fishery drug use standards (SMZ, 100 mg kg−1 d−1; ENF, 15 mg kg−1 d−1), these antibiotics were put into culture ponds to observe their effects on the phytoplankton community and primary productivity. The results showed that the changes in phytoplankton species at SMZ and ENF sites were different. At the ENF sites… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
