Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: The spawning season for our catfish egg research ended in mid-July and after completing our copper sulfate studies, we finished with a few other fungus control treatments on intact egg masses. We have a great system to do egg fungus studies and there are more compounds we plan to look at in the future. Since the end of our busy spawning season, we have been busy setting up other studies, analyzing data, and you-name-it. Aquaculture America 2009. Preparations have been completed for the upcoming Therapeutic Drug Research special session at Aquaculture America 2009 in Seattle, WA.

SNARC has partnered with Phelps Dodge (now Freeport-McMoRan) to draft a label for their product. FDA/CVM has concurred with the draft label that we have prepared and the sponsor will begin the process of moving it through their channels to create a mock- label that they will formally submit to FDA/CVM. Copper Sulfate - Human Food Safety technical section for Ich. A hazard characterization has been submitted to complete the Human Food Safety technical section for Triangle Brand (c) Copper Sulfate.
