Mecanismos de acción de los fármacos utilizados en acuacultura para el control de enfermedades en el cultivo de organismos acuáticos

Abstract

The growth of the aquaculture industry and the new ways of production in recent decades, has caused an increase in new challenges for production, having the main problem the emergence of diseases, where the correct management of production must be considered, such as their physicochemical parameters, soil water quality, planting densities, among others, in the same way by giving them undue control, we are creating a favorable environment for the proliferation of bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc., that is why the correct way to combat, would be prevention, however pharmacological products can also be used when these inconveniences arise, among which we have antibiotics, disinfectants, organic acids and natural products which, thanks to their mechanisms of action (effect produced by a drug on the organism), helps to kill or inhibit the growth of pathogens, for this reason the present work of revision literary ion aims to analyze the different mechanisms of action of drugs in aquaculture. Finally, it can be indicated that each of the drugs have different mechanisms of action and their effectiveness will depend on different factors that modify their action, such as the size of the animal, the species, the dose of the drug, room temperature, among others.
