Abstract
Doxycycline is a semi-synthetic broad-spectrum antibiotic, and it has been used to get rid of bacteria in animals and humans. The use of antibiotics has greatly contributed to the aquaculture production although its misuse sometimes presents public health problems. This study was performed to investigate the toxic effects of doxycycline on whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) administered for possible infection treatments. The shrimp were allocated into four groups and doxycycline was fed three times a day for 7 days at 0, 20, 50 and 100 mg/kg to each group. After 24 hr following the 7-day treatment, hemolymph and hepatopancreas were used for blood and biochemical analysis: Total hemocyte counts, Total protein, Total cholesterol, Gluscose, Glutamic pyruvic transaminase, Glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, Glutathione peroxidase, Superoxide dismutase, Glutathione-s-transferases, Total antioxidant capacity colorimetric and Acid phosphatase. In addition, histopathological examination was performed on the hepatopancreas and muscle. It was observed that body weight gain was significantly retarded in 100 mg/kg doxycycline group. Doxycycline was found to induce biochemical or functional disorders at 100 mg/kg as observed many of the blood and biochemical parameters were significantly reduced. In conclusion, it was judged that there will be no major toxicity problems with doxycycline when used for shrimp aquaculture at regular doses.
