Abstract
Bioavailability of oxytetracycline HCl was investigated in Atlantic sa lmon (Salmo salar L.) in seawater at 7-8 degrees C. A group of 80 fish received an intravascular injection of 20 mg kg(-1) body weight. Anot her group of about 90 fish were force-fed with medicated feed containi ng a dose of 50 mg kg(-1) body weight. The oral bioavailability was fo und to be only 2%.
