PARASITE-S is effective in controlling external protozoa and monogenetic trematodes on salmonid fish, and for the control of fungi on salmonid eggs.

• PARASITE-S is effective for the control of external parasites on salmonid fish. Organisms controlled include the protozoa; lchthyophthirius spp. ('lch'), Chilodonella spp., Costia spp., Scyphidia spp., Epistylis spp., and Trichodina spp, and for the mongenetic trematodes; Cleidodiscus spp., Gyrodactylus spp., and Dactylogyrus spp.

• PARASITE-S is applied to tanks and raceways as follows:

1. Turn off the water supply and provide aeration to prevent oxygen depletion
2. Apply the appropriate amount of PARASITE-S and thoroughly dilute and mix to assure equal distribution of PARASITE-S.
3. Treat for up to 1 hour for fish
4. Drain the solution and refill the tank with fresh, well aerated water
5. Treatment may be repeated daily until parasite control is achieved

• PARASITE-S is applied to ponds as follows:

1. Apply greatly diluted PARASITE-S to the pond evenly using a pump, sprayer or other suitable device to ensure even distribution.
2. Allow PARASITE-S to dissipate naturally
3. Single treatments usually control most parasites but may be repeated in 5 to 10 days if needed
4. Treatment for lchthyophthirius should be made at 2 day intervals until control is achieved

• PARASITE-S is use for salmonid eggs as follows:

1. Apply concentrations of 1000 to 2000 ppm. The most widely used concentration is about 1670 ppm (618 ppm active ingredient)
2. Apply as constant flow to water supply of incubating facilities for 15 minutes
3. Repeat as often as necessary to prevent growth of fungi

• PARASITE-S should not be used if the water temperature is above 27°C, when a heavy bloom of phytoplankton is present or when the dissolved oxygen is less than 5 pprn. should not be used if the water temperature is above 27°C, when a heavy bloom of phytoplankton is present or when the dissolved oxygen is less than 5 ppm. should not be used if the water temperature is above 27°C, when a heavy bloom of phytoplankton is present or when the dissolved oxygen is less than 5 ppm.
• Under some conditions, fish may be stressed by normal treatment concentrations. Heavily parasitized or diseased fish often have a greatly reduced tolerance for PARASITE-S.

• PARASITE-S is available as a liquid in 208 litre drums

• Active Ingredient Formaldehyde, 37-40%
• Other Ingredients Methanol, 12-15%

• Store PARASITE-S indoors away from direct sunlight, heat, spark and open flames, and ventilate the storage area. Do not subject PARASITE-S to temperatures below 4.4°C. PARASITE-S subjected to temperatures below 4.4°C causes the formation of paraformaldehyde, a substance which is toxic to fish. Paraformaldehyde can be recognized as a white precipitate at the bottom or on the walls of the container. The recommended storage temperature is 15°C. Do not expose to direct sunlight.

• PARASITE-S is a potential cancer hazard and may cause allergic skin reactions, respiratory sensitization, reproductive disorders, lung damage, liver damage, kidney damage, brain and nervous system damage. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Use with adequate ventilation and avoid breathing vapour. Wash thoroughly after handling.
• Tolerance to PARASITE-S may vary with strain and species of fish. A small number of each lot of fish to be treated should be used to check for any unusual sensitivity to PARASITE-S before proceeding
