Background and Aim: The health quality of seafood products can be a decisive factor to achieve business prosper and development of global marketing. For this purpose, the present study intends to determine the residues of florfenicol antimicrobial agent in the edible tissue (muscle) of Whiteleg shrimp reared in Bushehr Province’s farms.
Methods: 50 Whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) were purchased freshly from 7 farms in regions Helleh, Delvar, Dayyer, Deylam, Sheef, Genaveh, and Mond of Bushehr Province. The samples from abdomen muscle kept at -18 °C until the residues drug tests were performed. The florfenicol concentration was measured through high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
Results: The mean of florfenicol residues in Whiteleg shrimp muscle reared in Bushehr Province was significantly lower than the drug products evaluation standard value (1 μg/g).
Conclusion: Therefore, the daily consumption of the Whiteleg shrimp reared in this region has no health ban in terms of florfenicol accumulation. |
