Aquaculture Drugs Project #4 (17a-Methyltestosterone)



Description

The objectives for the fourth aquaculture drug project, Drug Approval Research on 17-a Methyltestosterone, include

  1. Develop a robust and validated high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (LC-MS) method to measure 17α-methyltosterone (MT) in fish feed.
  2. Conduct a series of stability studies on MT in fish feed.
  3. Gain acceptance from the Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) for the series of stability studies.
  4. Review and develop a LC-MS method for detecting MT in water.
  5. Conduct a biodegradation study of MT in water.
  6. Gain acceptance from CVM for the biodegradation study on MT.
