Abstract

ABSTRACT The effect on Argulus japonicus of Furan-2, a medication for fish, was tested in three trials. In each trial, survival of A. japonicus treated with Furan-2 was as high or higher than that of the controls. It is possible that Furan-2 inhibits microorganisms that otherwise would attack A. japonicus stressed by handling and held without food. When fish and Argulus must be confined together in the laboratory, it may be possible to use Furan-2 to treat the fish for pathogens without harm to the Argulus.
