Malachite Green Diagnosis Kit

Malachite Green is one of the materials used in fish breeding ponds. This substance has been used in the fisheries and aquaculture industry since 1936 due to its special features, but due to the discovery of its harmful effects on humans and the possibility of causing cancer, its use has been banned for more than 2 decades in many parts of the world.

Malachite Green belongs to the group of antimicrobial drugs with external use, which are widely used in fish breeding ponds due to their high efficiency against fungi and the cheapest price among other similar compounds. The most common use of malachite green is against a type of fungus from the Saprolegnia family, which is one of the most important factors of external pollution in freshwater fish farming and causes high losses, especially in the embryonic and larval stages of freshwater fish.

This fungus naturally exists in the water supply sources of fish breeding workshops, and it will reduce the efficiency of artificial reproduction. It first grows on the dead fish eggs and then spreads to neighboring healthy eggs. Unfortunately, malachite green used in fish breeding ponds enters the tissues of fish, and after consuming the fish, it can increase the possibility of cancer in people who consume it.
