Chloramine T (Halamid)

• Chloramine T is used to control mortality in fishes diagnosed with Bacterial Gill Disease (BGD) (Flavobacteria branchiophilum and other external flavobacteria) and
• External flavobacteriosis (External flavobacteria, caused by F. columnare, F. psychrophilum, and other closely related yellow-pigmented gliding bacteria are often collectively termed external flavobacteriosis).
  
  • 1-hour static bath or flow through Chloramine-T treatment.
  • Chloramine-T may be administered at 10, 15, or 20 mg/L Chloramine-T, and fish may be treated 1 - 3 times on alternate or consecutive days.
• antiseptic and odor control agents. It can also eradicate parasites and bacteria when cleaning tanks and equipment.
• Chloramine-T is stable in aqueous solutions for many months when kept in the dark.
• Can inhibit nitrification and should not be used in systems with a biofilter unless the biofilter is taken offline
• Use to control mortality:
  
  • Due to BGD in all freshwater-reared salmonids
    
    • 12 -20 mg/L for 60 min/d on 3 alternate or consecutive days
  • Due to external columnaris in walleye
    
    • 10 -20 mg/L for 60 min/d on 3 alternate or consecutive days
  • Due to external columnaris in all warm water finfish
    
    • 20 mg/L for 60 min/d on 3 alternate or consecutive days
• readily biodegradable, has none of the typical chlorine properties, so safe to the environment
• effective on a whole range of micro-organisms, including Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, fungi, and naked viruses and enveloped viruses.
  
  • Many disinfectants have no activity versus so-called naked viruses at all.
