Development of a method for the determination of oxytetracycline in trout.
An HPLC method has been developed whereby oxytetracycline can be detected in trout muscle at 0.005 mg kg-1. Application of the method to retail samples has shown that a few contained the antibiotic. The amounts found ranged from 0.008-0.037 mg kg-1, these concentrations being considerably below that specified under the Medicine Act review procedures.
