Abstract

Tests indicate that the oral administration of diethyl 2-chlorovinyl phosphate (SD1836) and 2,2 dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphate (DDVP) plastic-incorporated pellets significantly reduces the intestinal nematode parasite Sterliadochona pedispicula in wild rainbow trout. No evidence of fish toxicity was noted with the treatments and dosages tested.
