“…The simple use can influence the performance of the Fish Farm Production Management indicator. According to Reyes & Nunes (2017), food security is an essential public health issue, as microbiological and chemical contamination in food is a major cause of diseases. The control of bacterial infections with antibiotics has become one of the solutions for fish farmers against bacterial pathogens, but limited data exist on the type of veterinary drugs and the amounts applied (MO et al, 2017).…”

This study aimed to characterize and analyze the performance indicators for fish farms in the municipality of Toledo, Paraná, Brazil. A Checklist consisting of 17 indicators and 90 items relevant to the socioeconomic and environmental profile was inventoried and applied to 25 fish farmers in the municipality. Based on the responses, the developments were assigned the performance indices “Critical,” “Poor,” “Regular,” “Good,” or “Great.” Of the indicators, 4 presented “Great” indices, 11 presented “Good,” and 2 presented “Regular,” characterizing the fish farms in general, with an overall index of 73% as “Good” performance. The deficient indicators, new strategies and practical solutions to increase the performance of fish farms with the use of the Summary Management Plan were traced. The application of public policies and more efficient extension services is suggested, requiring the implementation of technical advisory services to the producers and preparation and construction of systems for the treatment of effluents.

“…Suppose the WT of the veterinary product is not determined for a fish species treated with medicated feed. In that case, there is the potential for the presence of the drug residues in edible tissues in quantities above that which is safe for the consumer [56][57][58]. This risk is due to removing fish for slaughter in a shorter period than necessary for the depletion of residues to a level required by the legislation.…”

The quality of the aquatic environment can be compromised by the practice of intensive use of pesticides in agriculture and by the misuse of veterinary drugs. Therefore, organisms that live in aquatic ecosystems may be affected due to the presence of these chemicals, through runoff, leaching and other processes. Exposure of aquatic organisms to these xenobiotics could pose health risks. Consequently, there is a growing interest in predicting the bioaccumulation of these substances in aquatic biota from experiments conducted under laboratory conditions. Studies on fish have been performed due to its importance as human food and their wide distribution in most of the aquatic environment. Thus, this article reviews the concepts on determining the accumulation of pesticides and veterinary drugs in fish. The risk regarding the consumption of fish containing residues of these chemical agents, the acceptable daily intake, the testing protocols and the analytical techniques used to determine the residues of these substances in fish tissues are discussed. An emphasis on studies involving tilapia as the test organism was included because, according to Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), this species is one of the most cultivated in the world.

“…Several nations have taken measures, including campaigns to restrict antimicrobial usage in animal-derived food production, to curb the proliferation of resistant microorganisms. Consequently, these nations are compelled to adhere to the regulations of importing countries to eliminate trade barriers [ 27 ]. In light of these factors, analysing veterinary drug residues in food through laboratory investigations becomes an integral component of a robust system to ensure food safety [ 28 ].…”
