Sharing How to Treat Fungal Disease in Eels
Signs of Fungal Disease in Eels
Eels affected by fungal disease may show cottony, white threads on their skin, with their appetite gradually decreasing until they stop eating and eventually die.
Causes of Fungal Disease in Eels
Fungal disease in eels often occurs in the colder and humid months of winter, fall, and spring, as these conditions encourage the growth and spread of fungi. The disease is caused by parasitic fungi that cling tightly to the eel's skin, feeding on its nutrients. As a result, the eel loses nutrition, becomes anemic, stops eating, and dies.
Treatment for Fungal Disease in Eels
If the fungal infection is mild and newly detected, farmers can treat the eels by bathing them in salt water. The ratio is 20-30 kg of salt per 1 cubic meter of water. Mix well until the salt dissolves, then bathe the eels for 15-20 minutes.
If the infection is more severe, use:
- Copper Sulfate (CuSO4): This blue salt compound should be used at a ratio of 7-10g per cubic meter of water. Bathe the eels for 15-20 minutes daily for three days. Afterward, change the water completely to disinfect, continuing with new water for two consecutive days.
Note: Copper sulfate (CuSO4) is harmful to the environment and health. Protective gear should be worn during mixing to avoid direct contact, and waste should not be discharged into the surrounding environment.
With this information, farmers now have a guide to treating fungal disease in eels, helping them manage issues without delay to prevent economic loss. Wishing everyone a successful eel farming season!
