An innovative product created by researchers from the Jagiellonian University (Jagiellonian University) in Krakow strengthens the immune system of fish.

Since imported fish have to endure the inconvenience of a long-term transport, breeders prophylactically give them antibiotics, which may also have side effects – explains Dr Wojciech Fiałkowski.

Meanwhile, the new product, patented by scientists from the Jagiellonian University: Dr Wojciech Górecki, Dr Wojciech Fiałkowski, Dr Łukasz Pijanowski and Dr Eng. Monica Komorowska strengthens the immune system of fish and antibiotic therapy is not necessary.
The product is used externally, it is mixed with the water in which the fish are transported. It is absorbed through the skin and digestive system. This is a completely innovative way of administering this type of drugs.
