While acriflavine kept Aeromonas bacteria numbers lower
than other treatments in the experiment with no fish and
only bacteria, in experiment 2, with fish in transport,
acriflavine did not appear to provide any long-term bactericidal
properties. Because of these results evaluating the
appearance and behavior of fish transported in acriflavine
and the lack of long-term bactericidal effects, acriflavine is
not recommended for use.
