IATP has published this new report on antibiotic use in fish farms. Recent reports and on-going investigations have raised legitimate public concerns about the safety of antibiotic drug usage in aquaculture. Establishing the exact level of drug use and potential dangers is difficult due to lack of data, fragmented laws, regulations, jurisdictions and interpretations of reporting guidelines and large quantities of aquaculture imports from countries where legal and illegal drug use may escape documentation.
