Review of Antimicrobial Resistance in the Environment and Its Relevance to Environmental Regulators (2016, background): “Antimicrobials are used in aquaculture to prevent and treat bacterial infections in fish and invertebrates (Cabello et al., 2013), however, in middle to low income countries, it can often be used to overcome what is considered sanitary shortcomings in fish rearing (Cabello, 2006).”
Management Options for Reducing the Release of Antibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance Genes to the Environment (2013, methodology): “Approximately 20 years after industrial aquaculture had begun, evidence emerged that ARGs were transferred between aquatic bacteria that are pathogenic to both fish and humans (Cabello 2006; Ryu et al. 2012).”
Antimicrobial resistance in aquaculture: a crisis for concern (2020, background): “Considering the impact of antimicrobial resistance to the global consumer health, previous reviews were oriented towards the survey of antibiotic uses in aquaculture and AMR reports on various fish farms, ornamental fishes and fish products from different countries (Alderman and Hastings 1998; Cabel”
The prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes among Aeromonas species in aquatic environments (2014, background): “The most widely used drugs are fluoroquinolones, florfenicol, oxytetracyclines (OTC), amoxicillin and sulfonamides (Gräslund et al. 2003; Holmström et al. 2003; Cabello 2006; Primavera 2006; Soonthornchaikul and Garelick 2009).”

(2019, background): “Prokaryote 17 microalgae (cyanobacteria) can be particularly vulnerable to antibiotics (Cabello, 2006) and 18 continuous exposure of the environment to antibiotics can enhance the selection of resistant 19 bacterial strains, which include potential pathogens (Kümmerer, 2004).”
