Abstract

Introduction. One of the factors hampering the development of aquaculture is invasive disease. Protozoosis, helminthiasis and crusthaceosis of fishes are widespread and cause significant economic losses in the pond farms and industrial fish farms of Ukraine. The epizootic situation concerning them has not improved significantly, despite the measures taken, which include the widespread use of various anti-parasitic drugs. Therefore, the selection of highly effective and affordable fish protection means that would provide a universally wide range of antiparasitic effect is relevant. The goal of the work. To investigate and analyze potential possibilities of using modern anti-parasitic drugs, which are present in the veterinary market, in relation to pathogens of protozoosis, helminthiasis and crusthaceosis of pond fish. Materials and methods. The results of our previous experimental studies and scientific papers on the properties of certain antiparasitic drugs have been used. Among the methods applied analysis, comparison, testing, evaluation of efficiency, generalization. Results of research and discussion. The problem of losing fish with the protozoa and flatworms of the Monogenea class solves one of the drug “Devastin”, which has proven to be a preparation for antiparasitic treatment of the fish body surface and branchias among the large-scale proposals of the modern veterinary market. The “Devastine” contains povidone iodine, as an auxiliary substance contains rock salt. In the fight against cestodes, trematodes and nematodes of fish among anthelmintic means, the drug Ribolik is the most effective. It consists of praziquantel, fenbendazole, levamisole. The medicated feed mixture was prepared for group deworming of fish. In the prevention of crusthaceosis, the ecologically safe preparation “Krustatsid” on the basis of diflubenzuron and the drug “Brovermectin-granulat” on the basis of ivermectyn has been successfully tested. The means are appointed to be used in the composition of the medicated feed mixture for free group feeding of fish. Conclusions and prospects for further research. Consequently, among the modern high-effective and safe antiparasitic drugs used in pond fish farming against protozoosis and helmintiasis (monogenoses) there is the drug “Devastin” (poidon-iodine), against helmintiasis (cestodiosis, trematodosis, nematodosis) – preparation “Ribolik” (praziquantel, fenbendazole, levamisole), against crusthaceosis – preparations “Crustacid” (diflubenzuron) and “Brovermectin-granulat” (ivermectyn). In the future, it is planned to study new environmentally safe and effective means that would ensure the release of carp species from a wide range of pathogens of invasive diseases.
