Antibiotics were tested for toxicity and efficacy in adult spring chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) infected with bacterial kidney disease and furunculosis. The complex of penicillin G procaine, dihydrostreptomycin sulfate, and oxytetracycline-HCl was not toxic and it effectively controlled both diseases, producing a three-fold increase in adult survival and production of viable eggs.Mandible and fin teratogenesis occurred in progeny of adults treated with the above antibiotic complex, but could be reduced by providing a 32 day interim between injection and spawning.
