Abstract

The scuticociliate, a histophagous ciliate, is known to cause high cumulative mortalities in juvenile olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus rearing in land-based tank facilities. This study examined effects of bath treatment of 3 chemical agents including formalin, hydrogen peroxide and sodium chloride. and freshwater against scnricociliates infected olive flounder. Although 100 ppm formalin and freshwater did not completeIy eliminale ue scuticociliates within the internal organ of fish, chemicals were effective to prevent scuticociliatosis from spreading. It confirms the efficacy of the chemical with treating the diseased fish for at least 4 consecutive days.
