The Use of Potassium Permanganate (KMnO4) in Fisheries: A Literature Review.

PB275397

Publication Date	1978
Personal Author	Duncan, T. O.
Page Count	56
Abstract	Potassium permanganate is one of the most widely used inorganic chemicals in the world. Since its first use in fish culture in 1893, potassium permanganate has been used primarily as: (1) A disinfectant in fish hatcheries for aquatic plants; aquaria, raceways, ponds, and water supplies; (2) for removal of fish parasites; (3) to reduce disease, or as a disease preventative, especially on wounds of fish; (4) for detoxification of fish toxicants such as rotenone and antimycin; (5) for fungus and algae control; and (6) temporary oxygen depletion problems in ponds. In foreign countries, potassium permanganate is used for removal of parasites before the live fish is sent to market, as well as a disinfectant.
