| Introduction: Saprolegniasis, caused by oomycete pathogens such as Saprolegnia, poses a major challenge to the global ornamental fish industry, resulting in economic losses and raising animal welfare concerns. Restrictions on traditional chemical treatments have prompted the search for safe, effective, and eco-friendly alternatives. This study aimed to assess and compare the effectiveness of two biodegradable substances, sodium chloride (NaCl) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), in controlling natural saprolegniasis infections in ornamental aquarium fish. Materials and Methods: Sixty-two infected fish were selected for two trials. In the first trial, 30 fish were exposed to sodium chloride baths at concentrations of 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 g/L for 12 hours each day. The second trial involved 32 fish exposed to hydrogen peroxide baths at 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mL/L for 30 minutes daily. The primary measures of effectiveness were lesion healing and survival rates. Results: Sodium chloride showed a concentration-dependent effect, with 4 and 6 g/L reducing lesion severity and mortality, but higher concentrations (8 g/L) were toxic. Hydrogen peroxide at 2.0 mL/L provided the best results, significantly improving lesion regression and survival without causing adverse effects. Discussion: Both treatments were effective in controlling saprolegniasis, though hydrogen peroxide at 2.0 mL/L outperformed sodium chloride, providing a faster, more potent treatment. Sodium chloride's mechanism is osmotic, whereas hydrogen peroxide is cytotoxic, which explains its superior efficacy. However, both treatments have limitations in completely eradicating the infection. Conclusion: Using 2.0 mL/L of hydrogen peroxide during 30-minute daily baths provides a sustainable and effective way to treat saprolegniasis in ornamental fish, offering aquarists an environmentally friendly alternative. | ||
