|
What is Emamectin
Benzoate? |
|
Emamectin Benzoate is a
veterinary drug administered via fish feed for the treatment
of developing, immature and adult stages of sea lice in
farmed salmon. Sea lice attack the skin of the fish, making
them more susceptible to other infections and eventually
destroy muscle mass. Superficial damage on lice-infected
salmon can also greatly reduce their market value for
aesthetic reasons. Other treatments for sea lice are either
less effective or have more severe safety and environmental
considerations. |

Countries have approved
Emamectin Benzoate for use
in fish |
|
Emamectin Benzoate is
approved for use in fish in many other jurisdictions
including the European Union, Norway and Chile. In the
United States, it is approved only as a pesticide but made
available for use in fish under a program similar to
Canada¯s EDR program. |
|
|
How is
Emamectin Benzoate made
available through an emergency drug release? |
|
Aspects of the product, including efficacy,
safety and environmental impact are considered before
issuing an EDR to a veterinarian. The veterinarian
responsible for a particular fish farm has to submit a
written request to VDD for an emergency drug release. The
veterinarian must specify the location of the farm, the
number of fish to be treated, the size of the fish and the
amount of drug required. After verifying the information,
VDD will evaluate the request and may authorize the
manufacturer of the drug to sell a specified quantity of a
drug (e.g.,
Emamectin Benzoate) to the
veterinarian to treat the infected fish. Only veterinarians
can access veterinary drugs through the EDR program. The
program is most often used for the treatment of companion
animals, but it is sometimes used for emergencies in
food-producing animals. |
|
|
What is the difference between a pesticide
and a drug? |
|
Pesticides are typically added to the water
for treatment of external parasites. A drug such as
Emamectin Benzoate is
administered to fish in their feed, attacks external
parasites and effectively eliminates them. |
|
|
Is it safe to eat salmon treated with
Emamectin Benzoate? |
|
The public can feel confident that salmon
treated with SLICE are safe to eat. Health Canada has set
stringent conditions regarding the use of SLICE in order to
safeguard the safety and quality of products entering the
food chain. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency routinely
inspects food products to enforce safety guidelines and
takes appropriate action when they have been violated. |
