With an increasing global population, aquaculture can provide a source for inexpensive protein. However, many of these sources are and will continue to be located in developing countries where medicated feeds are inexpensive and widely available for broad application on farms. These feeds can contain antimicrobial agents from classes generally considered unsafe for use in food-producing animals due to their critical importance to human medicine (e.g., fluoroquinolones).
