what should be your first line of action when you notice any disease outbreak in your fish farm?
1. Stop feeding: when you notice any sign of disease spread in your pond, please halt feeding as that will lead to mass mortality.
2. In a situation where there are much mortality, don't try to relocate the fish as that will worsen the situation. But if few mortality is noticed, then
3. Transfer them into another clean pond and initiate a salt-bath immediately. Fill the new pond with fresh water and add salt using 2.5g per liter dosage (or simply add enough salt until your pond water start testing like saline water)
4. Relocate the fish into the saline water if there are few mortality or initiate the salt bath in the pond where they're using the dosage that was stated in number 3.
5. The bath should should be repeated daily for 3 days. Resume feeding on the third day but make sure you do the number 6.
6. Medicate the fish feed using antibiotics (Oxytetracycline) with the 3g per kg. Use the medicated feed to feed them for at least 5 days but withdraw after 7 days.
7. Make sure you maintain high water management practices as that will help improve their general health.
